What is a Snuffer
What is a Candle Snuffer Used For
A candle snuffer is a small, hand-held tool used to put out candle flames. A snuffer typically has a bell-shaped cone attached to a long handle, which allows you to safely and effectively put out a candle without blowing hot wax or smoke into the surrounding area. The primary function of a candle snuffer is to cut off the oxygen supply to the candle flame, causing it to go out gently and without creating excessive smoke or splattering molten wax.
Candle Snuffer Designs
In today's world most candle snuffers are practical as opposed to being ornate. The 'cone' part oif the snuffer is usually made of metal such as brass, silver, or stainless steel, and is often hinged to the handle. This allows you to easily place it directly over the flame.
How to Use a Candle Snuffer
The use of a candle snuffer is straightforward. When you need to put out a candle, you simply lower the 'cone' over the flame. As the cone covers the flame, it deprives it of oxygen, causing the flame to go out. This is the recommended way to safely put out candles as it minimises the production of smoke compared to blowing out a candle. Additionally, using a snuffer helps prevent the risk of splattering hot wax, which can cause burns or damage surfaces.
Candle snuffers remain a popular accessory for candle lovers, valued for their practicality and their ability to prolong the life of candles. By extinguishing the flame cleanly, snuffers help prevent the wick from becoming damaged or overly charred, which can affect how well the candle burns in the future.
