    Question What brand of oil do you use in your oil lamps

    I finally found some that doesn't smell or smoke. I'll post the name in a bit. It was $11.00 for a large container, however well worth it.

    We don't have any oil lamps, but MIL said she is thinking of giving us one FIL got for Christmas. (She doesn't know why her step-mother gave it to him, and it has butterflies on it, too!) She may have been kidding, but I hope not!

    Lamplight. I don't notice any odor and the only smoking I have is when the wicks need trimmed.

    I am not sure what the brand is, but I can't stand the odor it gives off.. It makes me get headaches... I would love to know the brand that you have found... I love lighting the oil lamps, but not the odor....

    A friend of mine, Kristin, taught me how to make olive oil lamps so olive oil is all I use. No smell, no smoke.
