Wax/Wick Combination Ratings:
5 = Perfect (or near perfect) burn - recommended wick for this wax and container
4 = Very Good - Very good burn characteristics, melt pool etc. - Still a good choice
3 = Average - Burned o.k. - but either melt pool or other burning characteristics could be improved
2 = Not Very Good - Significant Problems with melt pool and/or burning characteristics
1 = Wrong Choice - Completely wrong for this wax/size - either doesn't stay lit at all - or was way to hot to remain safe - or other significant problem
