Collection: Wax Melt Burners

Ceramic, stone and wooden wax melt burners to suit any room. A burner is simply a vessel with a well on top and a tealight underneath. The flame never touches the wax — it warms it gently from below, so the fragrance evaporates rather than burns off, which is why a melt out-throws a candle of the same scent.

Materials

Ceramic is the everyday choice — it heats evenly, cleans easily, and comes in the widest range of designs. Soapstone and sandstone hold heat for longer and give a slower, subtler release, which suits bedrooms and tames stronger fragrances. Mango wood pairs a carved wooden body with a removable dish, so you get the warmth of wood with a well that still wipes clean.

Well shape matters more than design

Scent evaporates from the surface of the molten wax, so a wide, shallow well throws noticeably more fragrance than a deep, narrow one from exactly the same melt. If you want a burner that fills a large room, look at the well before you look at the pattern. Our wax melt burner buying guide covers this in detail.

Every burner here fits standard wax melts and simmering granules.
