MeatEater x Wild + Co Grouse Camp Candle

Opening day of grouse season. Sage still warm from a summer of high sun. Dew heavy enough to promise frost. The sweet, clean smell of petrichor rising from the trail.

Grouse Camp captures that late-summer edge, where heat meets autumn. Wild berry notes of wardleberry, snowberry, raspberry bring a bright citrus layered over dry sage and dusty ground. It’s the scent of miles walked, dogs working, kids whooping, and the kind of morning that makes you grateful you got up early.

MeatEater candles are poured in small batches in Salmon, Idaho, in collaboration with Wild + Co. Each candle is crafted with 100% soy wax sourced in the United States, cedar wicks, and ingredients you can feel good about bringing into your home. Three percent of all sales goes toward protecting access to public lands for all.

Important Care Instructions:  Wood wick candles are made with real wood, so they burn a little differently than your standard wick. A little upkeep goes a long way toward a clean, even burn every time you light your candle. On the first burn you may see a higher flame - this is normal. Let it burn for a few minutes, then blow it out, pinch off the charred wood, and relight for a small steady flame. On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edge of the container (about 1 hour) to prevent tunneling. From here, burn your candle as you would a regular candle. Continue to pinch off charred wood each time before you light.
