Big, small, tiny, ornate, and nondescript. Kirkman's site: Kerosene Lantern Frequently Asked Questions Page Read the fuel section at this page from W.T. It helps quite a lot.Īs for the wick question, I will let someone more knowledgeable about it respond.Īre you keeping the top of the wick below the cone of the burner? If the wick comes up above the cone, it's too high and the wick will char, etc. Invest in a couple of good mirrors and tape one side together and put them behind the lamp for extra light.
Reading at night was not something that was common. None of the FAQs on the lamp & wick websites could answer this.īack in the day when kerosene lamps were used, most people got up with the sun and went to bed with the sun. Don't know if that makes any difference.Īny other ideas on what kinds of wicks work best for brighter-burning oil lamps? I'd like to be able to read books if TSHTF or if we just have another power outage. I also noticed that the wick I purchased in a length of several feet was not woven as tightly, so it didn't work as well as the tighter-woven wicks I had bought in 6-8 inch pieces. I'm wondering, do fiberglass wicks work better? I saw them on the sites where I bought cotton wicks, but since I didn't "get" why I would ever need fiberglass, I stuck to the cotton. The few lamps that I had bought that had old cruddy wicks in them actually burned brighter and the flames stayed high when I turned the lamps up. Just to read a book, I had to have three lamps next to me. But what really ticked me off was that when I would turn the lamps up (so that the wick is higher and the flame brighter) the wick would quickly burn down and the flame would be small again. Well, after our recent hurricane, I got to put them to good use. Some did not have wicks when I bought them, so I purchased some lengths of cotton wick online, from a few different sellers. I filled them with good, clean-burning paraffin oil. I have a nice collection of old kerosene/ hurricane lamps, which are nice for decoration, but also a good backup for when the power goes out.
