Why can’t I smell anything?
Place the burner either at your desk or in a room without open windows/doors etc. The lower down the surface, the more you will smell.
Start with a fresh piece of wood and a fresh unscented candle.
Light the burner and allow enough time for the body to become hot to the touch.
Why has the chimney in my burner gone black?
This is a build up of soot which is usually a result of the wrong type or size of candle being used.
