Talk:Betty lamp

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I removed the suggestion of using tiki torch fuel or kerosene in betty lamps. They are both too volatile for a "heavy oil" lamp which heats the fuel up quite hot in use such as the betty lamp or whale oil lamps. Additionally, the wick tubes are often not sealed up tightly enough to prevent flames from traveling down the wick into the fuel setting it on fire if used with kerosene, tiki torch fuel, bottles "lamp oil", etc.
