There are a number of reasons why your wood wick may not be staying lit. The most common reason is that the wick is too dry. If the wick is not properly saturated with oil, it will not be able to stay lit for very long. You can try soaking the wick in oil for a few hours before using it, or using a wick that is already saturated with oil.

Another reason why your wood wick may not be staying lit is that the flame is not hot enough. The wood wick needs a hot flame in order to stay lit. If your flame is not hot enough, the wick will eventually go out. You can try using a higher quality lighter or candles with a higher melting point to get a hotter flame.

Finally, the size of the flame may be another reason why your wood wick is not staying lit. If the flame is too small, it will not be hot enough to keep the wick burning. Conversely, if the flame is too large, it may consume the wick too quickly, causing it to go out. Try to adjust the size of the flame until you find one that is just right for your wood wick.

Did you soak the wood in water before using it?

It's important to soak the wood in water before using it because otherwise the wood will absorb the moisture from the concrete and crack. If you're using a pressure washer, make sure to keep the pressure low so you don't damage the wood.

Is the wood wick too long?

The wood wick may be too long for some people, but for others, it may be the perfect size. It all depends on the person and how they like their wood wicks. Some people may find that the wood wick is too long and they may not be able to get the desired amount of wood on the wick, while others may find that the wood wick is just the right length. It all comes down to preference.
