I've used oil lamps at night for many years, but just started lighting one in the morning - so peaceful. I never thought to add essential oils! I also read that you get more light from them if they are in front of a white wall, or better yet, placed in a corner at a safe distance. The light reflects. Putting them in front of a mirror helps too - that's why some old-fashioned candle holders have a metal or mirrored background. Thanks for a great video!

I grew up with oil lamps. We lived out in the country and had power outages often, and still do. I keep oil lamps ready to go all the time. My children know to be very careful around them. I can't use kerosene in them because it causes headaches and asthma flareups for me. I went to order some fuel to refill my lamps about a month ago and couldn't find any for less then $20/gallon!😲I couldn't believe it! I hope the price comes back down a little before I run out. I still have at least one of my grandmother's lamps. It's nice to think of my mother and her bothers and sisters gathered around that lamp in the evenings with their school books while my grandmother sat in the corner sewing or reading her Bible to them.

It was too unsafe while bringing up my large family. Now most are grown so time to find some klean heat oil! Thank you for the valuable info on how to maintain them as well as blowing them out. I know it seems like it should be simple to everyone but when I haven't used them for so long I forgot.

I love oil lamps! They are very calming. I would like to add a safety tip although you supplied many. After you wash and dry the rag you used to clean the lamps it should be stored in a tin or glass jar with a metal lid to prevent spontaneous combustion. I know it doesn't happen often but it can. My dad taught me that all oily rags or cloth should be stored that way. I have a friend that had rags they didn't store in a tin and it did spontaneously combust. They were fortunate, because they were there at the time so there was no problem, but it could burn a persons house down easily. So get a cute tin or jar to keep it in.

By the way, I've been using kero lamps, alladins and lanterns since before you were born, not that I'm old (lol), but of all the videos I've watched off and on you are the only one I have seen that properly trimmed wicks! Everyone else just cuts them straight which doesn't allow for as high/efficient of a flame. Good job, new subscriber here.

This was very informative! When I was school age, I always wanted to be a pioneer. I live in Nebraska, and have pioneer ancestors so maybe that’s why, and Laura Engels Wilder had a big influence on me. I actually washed my clothes by hand in the sink, and hung them outside a few times in grade school to see what it was like. Thank you, Tessie! I still yearn to live simply and I love your videos.

While me and my grandma and I were cleaning her antique collection above her kitchen cabinets, she gave me one of her mom’s old oil lamps ( my great grandma’s), and it looks exactly like the one in the first part of your video only the top globe is just a plain one. I bought Klean Heat at Home Depot today, just tried it out, and the lamp works awesome! Can’t believe how bright they actually are, especially if the light bounces off mirrors like in the bathroom. Gonna try to find a smaller one for my camper and a few more for my future home!

I just bought 3 antique oil lamps that work for $25 on FB marketplace. I cleaned them up and trimmed the wicks. Thanks for this video. Very helpful and instructional!

Thank you Tessie! My husband inherited an oil lamp that was his grandfathers from the 1920's and we just recently won a beautiful one in a horse rescue auction. This was really helpful in teaching me the basics of what I need to know so that we can enjoy these beautiful gifts.

Morning Tessie from Ephrata, Pa.😊 I started using my grandmas oil lamps two years ago. She had passed away and I was fortunate to be able to have them. She was like my mother and it brings back great memories of her everytime I see them and light them. I know have gotten quite a few more threw thrifting. I love the nostalgic cozy feel of them and also depend on them to save a little on electric. Thank you so much for this video on how to maintain and use them. Now I know to trim the corners to keep it cleaner and from smoking. God Bless you and your continuing faithfulness here on youtube.

I lived in a beautiful Victorian home on the outskirts of Boston . We used oil lamps for decoration and had some that hung off the walk-in an iron holder. They did smell so funny I may try them again with Klean heat And Essential oils. Woo hoo I now live at the coast so that’s for your tips Lights out here not unusual with wind gusts .

It's like you're in my head. I was thinking of this just today as my electricity bill was so high. My grandmother used oil lamps. Thanks for the tips. Especially about the fragrant oils. Never thought of that.

I have been thinking about picking up a few oil lamps from a local thrift shop, but I didn't know how to use them properly. After watching your video, I will buy some! Thank you for sharing this. A lot of old knowledge is being lost, even simple things like oil lamps. My Mom used to have some, but I think she has thrown them out! (I am so sad about it!) But I am trying to learn old ways and enjoying it, it often saves money! Thank you again!
