Review on Captivating Black Hanging Hurricane Lantern - Ideal Wedding Table Centerpiece Lamp - 8 Inches (1) by Jacob Diego

I took one out of the box and filled it with "spicy" lamp oil. Glows and burns well for a few minutes and I had to constantly turn the wick to keep the flame under control. After a few minutes, the flame will begin to flicker and crackle, and a lot of black smoke will be thrown out. As if the wick wasn't drawing enough oil. I'll try another one with clear oil and see if I get different results. (Update) Must be fuel. I drained the "spicy" lamp oil and filled it with high purity transparent oil. Now it burns well. Good stable flame. Would buy again. You just have to know how to change the wicks. Some instructions would be nice. (Update 2). In one of the previously unopened lamps (this is a 4-pack after all) I found an instruction manual that had all the information, including how to change the wick. In summary: open ALL the boxes and find the instructions. Read the instructions. Use ultra pure lamp oil. Do this and you will be completely satisfied with the product.
