flutterbees Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 What size shrooms do you allow before nixing a wick? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carriegsxr6 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 usually i clip my wick before each lighting. My shrooms usually dont get overly big while burnign, unless i burn for more than 4 hours at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flutterbees Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 My shrooms usually dont get overly big while burnign, unless i burn for more than 4 hours at a time.Specifically, how big do you allow them to get. If you could compare it to the size of something else for a frame of reference that would be great!! TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 A recent 'shroom discussion...http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85440&highlight=mushroomsUnless the 'shroom is HUGE at the end of a testing period, I don't worry about it because I am gonna trim the wick before relighting. Having said that, one should pay attention to how large a 'shroom can become during a powerburn. If it doesn't self-trim, it could present a hazard.

topofmurrayhill Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Closer to enoki than portobello. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoalaGirl Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I have learnt that the bigger the shroom, the more 'fuel smell' it gives off in those oils that are prone to developing the fuel smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
