They are created by Merry Corliss in a small oregon log cabin. Unlike a home made lamp, the Lehman's product is precisely sized to maximize the principles necessary to burn a clean long flame. They also offer a wide selection and these coils are only 2.50 each Light Sourcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01560974505322625458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-7548301718348940572011-10-01T03:25:05.202-07:002011-10-01T03:25:05.202-07:00An ashtray or a saucer and a small strip of cotton...An ashtray or a saucer and a small strip of cotton sheet from any source works too - just balance the wick on the lip and light (its a good idea to put a larger plate/bowl under it to catch burned bits etc.)<br /><br />viv in nzknutty knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00325560883289908412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-8814217825800951152011-09-30T08:31:55.273-07:002011-09-30T08:31:55.273-07:00As a fan of Laura Ingalls Wilder, I was more than ...As a fan of Laura Ingalls Wilder, I was more than half expecting you to include some version of Ma's "button lamp", that she created during "The Long Winter". <br /><br />She used it to burn "axle-grease", which was certainly near-solid, and most likely a mixture of tallow/lard, turpentine, and tar.

I would imagine you would have to run it through a fine strainer first to remove any food bits. Have you tried this?
