Description
FURTHER INFORMATION ON OUR WICK: The wicks of the Betonfeuer are basically “indestructible”.
However, as mentioned above, the wick needs wax to burn so that it does not “have to” burn itself.
In the instructions for use, we have therefore written that the wick should “ideally” only protrude 2 cm from the wax. The wick itself is made of a non-flammable, very fine-pored material. This draws the paraffin up through the pores and burns it.
However, if there is not enough paraffin at the tip of the wick, it will inevitably burn a little over time.
In addition, more and more wax is burned when the surface area of the wick is larger.
This means that the further the wick protrudes from the wax, the more wax is burned, as the surface area of the wick increases as the kerosene level decreases.
However, if the wick always has enough wax (i.e. it does not protrude more than 3 cm), it will not burn.
