CLICK ON THE WORDS "HURRICANE LAMP GLASS" OR "MICA" FOR SUB CATS----------Fire Proof Lamp Chimneys are a must for Oil Lamps, Never use a chimney obtained from reproduction electric lights.
The Chimney should fit snug in the holding fingers, too tight and it will shatter as the lamp heats, also it is important that it sits flat on the burner to prevent air entering from the wrong direction.
The hight of the chimney is important as this give the correct draw or airflow over the wick.
Many problems are caused by incorrect chimneys being fitted, including Smell, Fumes, excessive fuel or wick useage. Shades have no effect on the burn of the lamp but do add a nice decorative effect as well as changing the light value
