    I've recently just sold all my Yankees as the soot from the wick was making a mess of my ceilings and walls. I now use Scentsy which are wickless candles, and smell stronger than Yankees IMO x

    You have to cut the wick to stop the black smoke. I don't find Yankee jars very strong or the samplers but the tarts are brilliant.

    Don't forget you can also halve the samplers and burn them like you would the tarts :)

    Our local Outlet shopping village has an Hallmark Cards shop and they've been doing Yankee candles 1/2 price.

    Yep just remove the wick and chop in half. The smell is much stronger by melting than burning the usual way.:)
