I have heard of these before and am excited to know that you can burn oils that are not petrol based quite easily. I would really like to learn how to make the wick for an olive oil lamp. Do you have any ideas?

I often find myself wandering down country roads.....................

Ladies- Does the olive oil have much of an odor when burning? I really like this idea but my husband has to be convinced as well...
