An odd question. I always put a glass shade on my candles. Last night I heard two cracks and there was a big hole in the shade. I was burning a candle with two wicks. I have looked everywhere for a replacement but it would seem that Yankee arent selling them any more. Has anyone else noticed this. I wonder if it gets too hot with the two wicks and thats why they have stopped doing them.

I don’t know about Yankee but you can buy shades from other sites, such as Candle Emporium. Amazon also have some. I am sorry that happened, but glad you posted because I was thinking that as the toppers no longer fit YC jars I might have to get the shades out again. I shan’t bother now! Rosa has said the new ones burn better but that could of course be BS.
I did find a suitable one on Amazon but one of the reviews was from someone who had the same experience with the cracking so I am not sure I want to risk it happening again. I have an old shade but Ive decided not to put it on as the flames are quite high on the two wicks even though I used the wick trimmer before I lit them. I think the heat must be quite intense with the 2 wicks and thats causing the glass to crack. I never had a problem with the single wick ones. It seems to have got worse as the candle goes down, as it was ok for a few nights.
Its such a shame cause I like having a shade on. its as if Yankee have stopped selling them because of the problem with the new style candles.
