Ive lit many cigaretts over a kerosene lamp.My mother showed me how to wind news paper into tapers that were used to take fire from the kitchen stove to light kerosene lamps.People who lived thru the 30s depression know a lot about doing without.A friend told me his dad split big kitchen matches lengthwise.He saved enough on matches to buy a pouch of pipe tobacco.Why buy lighters, candles from a salvage are cheap.I bought a case of plumbers candles for 15 cents a candle.My mother took a piece of cardboard and put it in to a shallow tin can as a wick.Candle stubs and parafine that was used to seal jelly jars was melted into the can.I have cooked over one while camping.She said kerosene was a dime a gallon but most people didnt have a dime.Kerosene is 4.00 a gallon at the corner store but I have a dollar in change.We are in a depression now.
