In North East Ohio, we are experiencing some pretty cold temperatures as well. These cold temperatures are coming complete with the winds and the scattered power outages. The handy google gadget on my computer is telling me that it is about 27 degrees here in Dalton. Keep warm and let us know how it is going in Alaska. Don, We hope all is well in Alaska, keep warm.

No power for 11 hours wwith the temps around zero and 40-60 mph winds to bring trees down on the lines. It is very dark here this time of year, so we had 6 kerosene lamps going to see hour way around the house and a hurricane lantern tp care for the livestock. My sons even had to go out on the lake and cut a hole through the ice to get water to give the critters. We just reverted back to kerosene lamps and woodstove yesterday.

I think a lot of people love kerosene lamps but never say so. Those chimney brushes beats a wad of newspaper, that's for sure. Thanks, aussiegirl.

We only use our Aladdin when the power fails. This happens mainly in summer when we have severe storms and we are so appreciative of being able to carry on with whatever we were doing. We limit our use as mantles are difficult to come by, but having Lehman's as close as the keyboard, things could just change! Great article Pat, good sound advice - and I really must have one of those chimney brushes. At last – a place where I can admit my love of kerosene lamps!

Great article. Now I know why I like my kerosene lamps so well--it's genetic. ;-) I've also been wanting one of those olive oil lamps, or the kit, or the book, or all three. Hi Mom!

Great article. Now I know why I like my kerosene lamps so well–it’s genetic. ;-) I’ve also been wanting one of those olive oil lamps, or the kit, or the book, or all three.
