I was picturing a modern double-walled stove, not a pot-bellied or Franklin stove. The one my Dad had was basically a two-foot by two-foot box, insulated, the exterior warm to the touch but it wouldn’t burn you.

I have all the oil lamps I need, but here’s the funny thing — my mom bought some of them as pieces of decor. They’re a nice homey touch, but they don’t do anything. I have lamps, I have fuel. What I lack is wick cord.

It’s always the small stuff that trips ya up.

I buy my wick cord in 30ft. rolls for my 50 or so lanterns from the 1800’s from Woody. Hobby of mine. Check out his site - he sells everything and that includes parts. Friendly to talk to also.

My Regency wood stove has proven to be outstanding the past 20 years. http://www.regency-fire.com/Wood/Stoves/

If your hardware stores don't carry it - Leyman's catalog has it all - lamps, wicks, chimneys, hardware, --- they cater to the Amish, so they have all the things pre-electric...

These are particularly good to have in a house with children or animals as they wont get tipped over...I have one in my living room and one in the kitchen/dining area - really handy to get to in a power outage...

I don't have the fancy cobalt tho'- much as I like the look. I have lamps with a larger oil capacity - longer between fills
