I need a good wick for a pure beeswax candle poured into a metal tin, 3" wide and 2" deep. Will this wick give a complete burn for that size?

I used this wick for pure beeswax candles poured into 4oz quilted mason jars (http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4418846&KPID=957278&kpid=957278&pla=pla_957278). They burn just fine. Just make sure that they are secured upright in place while the candle cools a bit, otherwise the wick flops over.

I think it would be close, as it is a large wick. I have used it on paraffin 3" candle pillars and about the same size soy candles. I also used it on a beeswax candle--pillar that I have only partially burned. (I recycle old candles...) It is too big for anything smaller--the flame gets too large. With your candle being in a container, I think you are more likely to get a complete burn, but I would go to craft store and try a smaller sample of large cotton wick first. I also do not burn my candles all the way down--I put them into recycle when they are 1/4"-1/2" from the bottom, or sooner if the wick is not a good match! ;) I think it would be close, as it is a large wick.

I don't know i use soy wax candles. and that work great if you add some beeswax to the wick.

I am using it for my pillar candle which is big. I think it would be too thick for tealight candle~! ;-)

NO...as long as there is fuel in tank and resevoir, the wick will burn and produce heat at the setting you have made.

I think you'd better get the #7. The smaller wicks don't burn hot enough to melt the beeswax.

Possibly, is it 100% beeswax? the larger the wick the hotter the candle will get, if you need the heat and do not care if it melts all the wax in your small tea candle. it sould work.

If you're asking because there are several other comments online that say it doesn't burn hot enough, from what I found, if you follow the directions and let the wick fully ignite - about 10 minutes - before closing the metal case then putting it in the included bag, it gets warm to the touch, probably north of 100 degrees F. If you hold it without the bag, it gets too hot to touch, probably 110 to 120 degrees F.

The wick is about 12 inches long. It reaches to the bottom of a wine bottle. They work great and last a long time.

I used these in soy wax jar candles with great success. They burn with almost no smoke and very evenly.

1/2 inch wide wick comes with the lantern. It won't accommodate anything wider than that...

I don't know the type of wick. If I have trouble lighting it, I turn the lamp upside down to saturate the wick first. Hope that helps!

Sounds like you need a specialty wick. 3/8" is the diameter of the wick you are looking for? It may be lantern wick you need.

Well without further searching I can only tell you that I believe regular Support or Robson Flints will fit this Lighter and I believe at a smoke shop you could find a wick that is about that same Size that would fit. But the best advice I could give you is prob go to TrueUtility.com and Contact the Manafacturers there. Hope I am of some assistance. Goodluck!

The SMALLER burner does this without issue so the big one should as well. I say this because we use it to heat water to melt wax for candles and haven't used the more powerful burner as the pan we use fits perfectly on the smaller one.

yes! just soak the cord under the wick holder well and let it soak up through the wick holder...it takes awhile as the ceramic holder is very tight on the wick (and also makes it hard to pull more wick up as it burns down and trim.) Once it absorbs the liquid it burns great. Do remember not to burn citronella indoors.

Get a small spoon or ladle and put the wax inside of it, then wave the spoon/ladle over the flame of a candle. No chance of any scorching.

I use a hemp wick ik they were designed for bees wax but I absalutly love them very low smoke almost none but with anything other than bees wax you'll get smoke sets well rigid enough without being obnoxious

I replaced a wick by trimming a zippo wick. I also trimmed a zippo flint to fit for my true utility firestash keyring lighter
