Now is the fun part.

Light the lamp as you would a candle. It may take a little while to start the first time, but you will soon see the flame grow.



At this point you might like to do some fine tuning.

- Shorten the wick to reduce the size of the flame. This will also make it burn less fuel too of course.

- Adjust the tightness of the wrap. The tighter the wrap the less fuel will soak into it and so the flame will be smaller. A loose wrap will produce a bigger flame.

- Use trial and error to get the best result. You don't want a big flame spreading soot all over the place. A small flame should burn quite cleanly and throw a nice light.
