Candle Care

Get the most out of your Kampfire.

Your First Burn

Let it melt.

For the first burn, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the vessel. This helps create an even melt pool and prevents tunneling.

Tip: Allow the candle to burn until the wax melts evenly to the edges of the vessel, typically 2-4 hours.

Trim Your Wick

Before each burn, trim the wick to approximately ¼ inch.

A properly trimmed wick helps create a cleaner, more controlled flame and reduces soot and mushrooming.

 Keep It Safe

Never leave a burning candle unattended.

Keep your candle away from drafts, children, pets, and anything that can catch fire. Always place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

Don’t Burn Too Long

For best results, don’t burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

Allow the candle to cool completely before relighting.

Know When to Stop

Discontinue use when approximately ½ inch of wax remains in the bottom of the vessel.

Never burn a candle all the way down to the container.

Give Your Vessel a Second Life

Once your candle has completely cooled and you’ve removed the remaining wax, clean the vessel and give it a new purpose.

Use it for small plants, makeup brushes, jewelry, or whatever makes your space feel like home.


A little flame, a little ritual.
