Wooden cracking wicks add another sense to your candle experience:  Sound.  They do require some care however:      

• Trim wick to 1/8 inch. The longer the wick the harder it is for the wax to flow up to the top and keep the flame going.
• Always trim your wick before each burn, removing all charred wood from previous burns preferably using a wick trimmer.  You can also use your fingers to break off the charred pieces of wood prior to relighting.
• Always light the wooden wick from the base, closest to the wax and ensure the full width of the wick is alight.
• Your first burn should be at least 60 min so the wax can melt evenly.
• Do not burn more than 4 hours to preserve the scent in the candle.  
• Make sure to keep out or reach of children/pets as the glass will get hot and the wax will be liquid as it has been heated to a high temperature.
• Stop burning the candle when there is 1/4 inch of wax at the bottom of the glass to prevent any chance of shattered glass.
• Protect candle flame from drafts.
• Keep away from flammable materials, children & pets.
• After you extinguish make sure the wick is not smoking and that the flame is completely out.
• Cover extinguished candle with the lid to keep dust/dirt from the candle.
• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
