ABSTRACT:
A device capable of burning household vegetable oil and producing a candle-like flame is disclosed. It includes a heat-resistant upright glass tube within which a fibrous wick is positioned, extending a short distance out the top. For supporting the tube and wick in a generally flat-bottomed container, such as a small drinking glass, a foot or stand having horizontally-extending projections and an upright sleeve may be connected to the bottom of the tube by insertion of the tube end in the sleeve. When the assembled tube, wick and foot are placed in a container and vegetable oil is added, at least to the level of the bottom of the wick, the extending portion of the wick may be ignited to produce a candle-like flame. The container is preferably transparent so that light is radiated in all directions, and a special container may be provided for seating atop a light-transmitting rod, so that light from the flame illuminates the rod.
