Hurricane Lamps -Tips for Safe Usage and Home Benefits
Hurricane lamps should be an essential part of everyone’s emergency gear. Most can be fuelled by pretty much any type of oil or liquid fuel you have to hand, although it is always wise to only use the recommended fuel. There are three parts that form your standard hurricane lamp: the chimney, the wick, and the base. The base will contain your fuel and control knob for lowering and raising the wick. The wick can be purchased in any local hardware store where you can also buy the recommended lamp oil which will generally produce less soot or smoke.
