Burn Test Part 3, I think I have a problem

[Forrest]

Here are the pictures from last night’s burn. Same 11oz tureen in 6006 with 44-24-18 Zinc Core wicks and a 9% FO Load, but only a three hour burn. Also I trimmed the wicks a little short, but as these results are consistent with a previous test I ran with the same container, wicks, and wax I don’t think the short wicks were an issue. As you can see my wax pool didn’t reach the edges, but I clearly reached the bottom. I do know that if I continue to burn this candle all of the wax will burn. Based on these results I’m not sure what I need. Based on all I have learned on this board I think I have a lot of testing in front of me. My thinking is that perhaps I shouldn’t have the same melt pool expectations with this container that we would have from a straight sided container. My other thought is that maybe I don’t need a smaller wick as much as I need a different wick.

@Forrest have you tried a CD wick? I have better luck with this wick and the tureen.

The smallest CD I have right now is a 16, but I am going to order some smaller ones and try them.
