Lighting: HVB oil
Just a simple question for those who have tried the experiment before me (this will save me from screwing up the lamp if it does not work):
is there a way to transform an old oil lamp (storm type) into an oil lamp?
thank you ;-)
PS: I haven't looked too much, but how do you change the wick?

however when you make an oil lamp you need whatever happens a wick ....
the wick, normally for the same purpose as oil or oil, that the latter climb by capillarity in the wick in order to reach the flame: no?

It seems to me that we have already talked about it, but it concerned kerosene lamps not storm style (c koi by the way) ... https://www.econologie.com/forums/search.php
There are 2 main problems:
a) ignition
b) the smell
For the rest no problemo!

Here is the Roman lamp with wick.

Having bought a facsimile of it in Turkey, I used it to work with table oil and twine as a wick.
