Hi everyone,

Last year, I purchased a Schaff alcohol lamp, product 185. When I first tried it, it worked well and I used it on a home regulation.

However, recently I can't get it to perform well. I use denatured fuel alcohol and there's plenty of wick left, but after I light it, it only produces a sad little flame, which quickly dies. I've tried fresh fuel--not sure what else I can do.

Anyone have any experience with these lamps? What can I try? It comes with a cotton wick--is there a different/better type?

thanks!

You're so "modern"...don't you like that 19th century feeling of gently coaxing wood into position with fire? Not to mention the occasional drips of burning fuel that.you need to keep an eye out for...it's so "heartwarming"...like sitting in front of the fireplace on a cold winter's night 🌙 😀
