That's brilliant, thank you Rachel!! I've just picked one of these up this afternoon and I've been looking at it and wondering how this was done...I'd never have worked it out on my own 😂
Hi. For a clean burning operation you needed to do two things first. First trim the wick level or with a slight curve, ie. Trim corners so that any stray threads are removed. Then soak the whole wick by dipping it into the fuel before threading in the wick holder or after threading in place wait for the fuel to permeate up the wick to the top of the wick, maybe about 10 to 20 minutes. No smoking will occur then. If smoking occurs wind the wick down as low as possible and let it burn in for several minutes. Smoking will cause lamp black occurring on the inside of the glass. It is easy to clean off when cool. I love these machines.
That’s right the shape of the wick will alter the shape of the flame, a more pointed wick will produce a pointed flame , yes cut the corners diagonally but only slightly
This may be the most thoroughly concise videos I’ve ever seen. Well done.

🥰🥰 glad I can help. I was the kid that took things apart to see how they worked so dismantling is in my nature 😂😂. Thank you for the kind words ☺️
That's just saved me a lot of faffing! 😃 You're awesome, thank you!
WOW an excellent video - well done....have a great day
No talking was the best part...after the lamp ofcourse. 🕯
Yes perfect video. I have a very old one, which I mostly restored. Intentionally left it’s beautiful patina. Had the number 275 on it.
Thank you Rachel!
Thank you so much for this excellent video. Greetings from Denmark. ❤❤❤
Hello! Thank you so much for watching ☺️. Hope all is well in Denmark.

Bless you - had no idea how to do this 😂
Are there any of these still 3:04 being made in America? I've looked and haven't had any luck.
Yes just ordered one from Lehman’s of Ohio. Buy the German made Feuerhand baby. Comes in many lovely colors.
Great video. Easy to follow. Thank you
Thank you so much!! 🙌

I'm glad you mentioned "curve" trimming the wick, most people don't.
Brilliant. Thank you so much
thank you for this!
Do you have to have dedicated scissors for the wick trimming? Would not want dirty my scissors and/or kitchen brush in toxic lamp oil.
Thank you 👍🌹
Hey rachael does the wide wicks last longer than the round ones?
Thanks! 😊
❤❤❤
where did you get the wick ?
From internet or any store that sells supplier. Feuerhand uses 12,5mm wick. Cut to 12cm strips.
Is it possible with these lanterns to turn the burning wick down into the fuel tank and set it on fire?
Absolutely no chance of that happening, in fact to extinguish it you need to turn down the wick.
TRIM the wick to straight perfect line across!
You could bevel the wick or triangular the wick apparently SķuStyle
Thank you
What color that you buy ？
Hi! I think it’s the zinc option. There are so many colors that I want 😁 Amazon has a great selection. Thank you for watching!!
@@thebackyardcamper1268 Feuerhand has its own site.
u need to cut wick on sides too it will burn better
Thanks for the tip ☺️👍🏽
@@thebackyardcamper1268 🙂
Do you mean, to cut the wick's corners on the top, diagonaly to make it more round shape instead of flat? Please, can you explain?
That’s right the shape of the wick will alter the shape of the flame, a more pointed wick will produce a pointed flame , yes cut the corners diagonally but only slightly
how long should the wick be left in the tank?
Leave a new wick in the tank for 5 minutes to soak up the fuel.
15 minutes but some even recommend 1 hour.
😊👍👍👍🙏🍀
That wick is totally wrong and messed up. It needs to be very properly trimmed.
Thank you! 🙂
Thank you
