Candle Crock 101 Revisited!
After promising this video for a while I am finally revising my original Candle Crock 101 video. I will be sharing all the ins and outs of using a candle crock and a hot plate warmer to deal with candles that are not behaving (sooting, puny wicks, unfragranced when burning, etc...). I hope this video was helpful! Please subscribe if you are new.
*Again friends, DO NOT EVER relight a candle you have already warmed in a candle crock or hot plate warmer!

I bought one because of you. I now have 3 and I use all of my bbw candles in them. I get a solid week of scent from most of them. I rarely burn a candle now and my walls and furnace air filter thanks me.
I bought the same one. Cause of you and for mostly bbw candles. Very productive purchase. Now I hv a shelf of candles just for the crock. I’ve heard you mention it for years. I thought this would be an expensive purchase.. To my surprise they were less than $25. I paid around $13 on sale. So well worth it.
Thanks to you I have 3 crocks! Love them. I prefer the crock over burning anyday💜. I leave my crocks on 24/7.
Love using my candle crock. It had allowed me to extend my aromatic candle a few days. Blessings, Latina
I bought one because of you! Got free shipping on black Friday. I love it.. I should have bought two!
I'm so happy I snagged one of the teal ones up on black friday! I agree lighting these after melting would be a terrible idea. Not only the wick moving issue but I also think that the integrity of the glass would be compromised because your heating the whole glass up so intensely for a period of time.
I was gifted a candle crock. Last month I was burning BBW Twisted Peppermint and on the 3rd burn my son said it smelled like ethanol. So I put it in the candle crock, and no more gasoline smell. Crocks are great for all the reasons you mentioned.
Thank you for posting this! Just bought 2 crocks. Had several BBW candles go skanky recently. Wax turned a different color after pooling & smelled odd.
I am so excited you made this video!! I have wanted a candle crock since you made that video years ago!! I just ordered 2 of the cream with your link (thank you!!) and they were only 12.49!!! So cool!! Thanks for all the tips. I’m a 24 hour user 😬 But I won’t ever re-light the candles!! Happy Sunday my friend 💜
I bought 2 after your first video a few years ago, and have loved them ever since! They have been very useful for all those Yankee and now BBW duds. Thanks for introducing them!
I bought that beautiful crock after you said it was available at Boscov's awhile ago, so THANK YOU for sharing that! I love it!
You can spray paint the crock pot. Brad used a white chalk spray paint on mine and I love it!!

Ooh do a vid on it
Hey, I love the medallion one you've recommended! Unsurprised tho, as Candle Warmers. Etc. is my fav warmer brand. I did have 2 of the marbled black ones from Elanze Designs on Amazon for about 8 months. I went to turn on the upstairs one, one day it it literally just blew up. So I tossed that one and the other one away. Just fyi. It also gets hotter to the touch than the Candle Warmers one.

Thanks for this video Melanie! I use my small "Little Dipper" crock pot. A BBW 3 wick fits inside. I've not tried a taller candle in it so I'm not certain of the outcome. This is what works for me for the candles I currently have.

Oh my goodness!!! I just got one of these for Christmas and had no idea what to use it for! Thank you. I’m definitely melting my candles
It’s like you read my mind! I just lit a candle last night from BBW for 3 hours that burned horribly and was thinking “I can take it back or I can get a candle crock!” I’m buying one now!

I mean, sometimes it might be worth returning... but honestly I get what I would consider a fair amount of life out of the candles when I melt them.... or at least that is how I justify being too lazy to always bring them back lol.
Hey Melanie! Love your videos. So excited to see this video. I bought my candle crocks based on your original candle crock video. When my candle no longer has any scent, I pour out the melted wax into the trash (I've never had an issue with it melting the bags b/c I use pretty thick bags), wipe it out and presto! Clean jar that I can reuse! I sometimes pop the empty jar into the dishwasher if I feel like it needs just a little more cleaning.
Love love love my candle crock (I have the same one as you have thanks to your recommendation!) I got mine at Boscov's, on sale, online. I only wish I'd picked up 2 of them!
I ordered 2 of the crocks as soon as you had a posted they were available last year. Now I’m off to order the 2 piece element warmer, great video!
I need one of these Melanie but the only sort we have here are lamps they melt the wax which I don’t like. I like the idea that they are contained in the crock rather than on a open hot plate.
Useful if I ever get into candles 🕯 which may happen one of these years especially when you mention some particularly attractive sounding scents!😁👍 I’m not a fan of open flame, so this looks like the way for me to try candles out.
I have a wax melter and have used it before to melt the last bits of candles, but wasn’t sure if I should put them directly on the hot plate. I will probably do that with the last bits of my larger candles from now on.
Hi Melanie! I found you because of your gray hair (which is beautiful!). Now I am watching you for all your content. Your work ethic is amazing so that makes me watch your videos too. So glad I found you!!

I purchased two crocks based on your recommendation before Christmas, and I love them! Happy New Year!
You could get those plug timers. I always always remove the wicks if im putting it on a warmer plate.
I ordered a candle crock sounds good to me to get more scent out of candles
I’m so excited Melanie. I just snagged a candle crock from Boscov’s for half price plus free shipping! I can’t wait to use it because I have a B&BW candle that (no joke) only burned half way. The wicks will.not.stay.lit. for anything. 🙄

Bought crock on your recommendation. Once the wax is liquified I pull out the wicks and throw them away. No chance of trying to relight the candle again.
I want one so much but all the ones I can find available now won’t fit bath and body works candles. I hope someone comes out with more!

Personally I don't care for the lamp style because they only melt a "section" at a time (the part directly under the bulb. Then you have to pour out the wax so get to the next "section" of wax that has fragrance oils in it. The crock heats EVERYTHING at once and I essentially "set it and forget it" lol.

Hello Melanie! This candle crock looks really beautiful!!! Do you know how many watts It uses? Wattage should be written at down
@MrKongsMom

So I looked at the bottom and all I saw was 120 volts, no wattage unfortunately. I am going to assume it's 25 watt as this is what is typically used for crocks.

Candle Warmers Etc. no longer sells these.🙁. There are some on Amazon but they don’t look near as nice as this one..I am also wondering if the plain ones on Amazon are this large size? I also wonder why they stopped selling them, I have at least four of their lamps tho
