Do You Light All Three Wicks?

If you decide to burn just one wick at a time, still do the first burn with all three wicks -- then alternate between wicks for the single burns, so that you keep the level of wax more or less even across the surface of the candle.

How do you burn a 3 wick candle evenly?

With three wicks lit at once, the candle at first will pool wet wax in a ring around each wick; then the pool becomes more of a clover shape and ultimately reaches out to the outer perimeter of the candle. Turn the wicks slightly inward before burning to promote an even burn.

Are you supposed to light both wicks?

#1- The most important thing you need to know for any candle made with 2, 3 or more wicks is that each wick needs to be lit, every single burn. Igniting one wick at a time will not prolong the life of the candle but rather can lead to wick drowning or uneven melt pools.
