chanuka - What's the best way to make wick-and-oil work for Chanukah?


I've tried lots of fancy fluffy cotton wicks that just burn out. Some people have those little metal holder-thingies to keep the wick in place; some use bobby pins as holder thingies. If your oil cups are plastic, the metal holder things will melt the oil cups!


I've given up and gone to floating wicks. Any other suggestions?



Those nice old-fashioned, Genie-esque "lamp" things look great, but how do they work?!



Answer



Have you tried "Super Wicks"? The wicks are coated with a material that makes them stand straight on their own, supported only by a metal disc at the bottom. They seem to work well for me.
