OT - Heat output of oil lamp

In cowboy movies, sometimes they turn the flame down very low when they go to sleep and then turn it up again the next morning. Can the flame really be low enough that it doesn't burn a significant amount of kerosene during a whole 8-hour night? Absolutely. I would guess my lamp on low would burn for days if not weeks. I'll test it out. |

Good to hear. Cowboy movies and other westerns are my biggest source of info about American from 1865 to 1898. I'll test it out. |
