This Merry Corliss 6-pack lets you convert six standard pint-size jars into olive oil lamps. Each kit contains a round handcrafted steel element with a 1/8-inch outer diameter braided cotton wick (12 inches long). Drop the element into a pint jar or bowl filled with olive oil, light the wick, and you have an emergency-ready oil lamp that burns clean, smoke-free, and won’t catch fire if tipped over (the oil douses the wick).
Assembled, the unit is 4 inches tall by 1-3/4 inches outer diameter — perfect size for pint-sized canning jars (Ball, Kerr, Mason) or similar glass containers most kitchens already own. The pack of 6 gives you redundancy for emergencies plus the option to set up multiple lamps for ambient lighting or candle-replacement décor.
Olive oil is the right fuel for these lamps — burns cleanly without the kerosene smell, won’t catch fire if knocked over, and you probably have a bottle of olive oil in your pantry already. Vegetable oil and other liquid fats/greases also work. For off-grid households, emergency preparedness kits, cabin lighting, and households wanting candle-replacement decoration without fire risk, this is the right multi-pack purchase.
