@namelus…..I think you might have given me a clue about why my LAMPS will not burn. Possibly not the HIGH altitude….or the design of my ‘expedient’ oil lamps…. Maybe it’s the olive oil?
From the article above:
Quote….If the oil you put in the fridge doesn’t thicken at all, though, then you know for sure that the oil is fake.
2. Extra virgin olive oil should be flammable enough to keep an oil lamp burning. However, this test isn’t that dependable, for the same reasons mentioned above. But if the oil doesn’t keep the wick of an oil lamp burning, you know that it contains mostly refined oils. End Quote
OldMtWoman …renewed hope for high altitude expedient oil lamps…mebbe?
