Have you burned beeswax candles yet? Recently I wondered about what I would say if someone asked me how to start using beeswax candles. I had think back to when I first burned beeswax candles myself.
One of the most important things to consider when you burn beeswax candles is how long will you likely burn your candle for. Do you tend to light a candle and burn it 15 minutes or so and then put it out? Or do you light a candle and burn it for a long time in the evening, maybe several hours? Very different candles are suited for these two ways of burning candles. You may like to burn candles both for a long time and occasionally only for a short time. So ideally you would have two kinds of candles.
If you like to burn candles a short time I suggest you go to this link with various articles on candlesticks. This blog with candlestick maintenance will help too. Candlesticks need different maintenance than say pillars or tealights.
If you like to burn candles and enjoy them for several hours I suggest that you check out these links.
