How do I set up the candle?

Setup is easy. You will need to buy a bottle of ultra-pure lamp oil and (optionally, but recommended) a small bottle. We recommend an ultra-pure or smokeless lamp oil, so the candle burns cleanly without smoke or soot. Specifically, the Lamplight Ultra Pure Clean Lamp Oil brand is what we recommend, which you can buy from Amazon here. It is also readily available from Lowe’s, Michael’s, Target and other retailers. Your rock will ship with a small squeeze bottle, like this one on Amazon, to make it easier to fill the candle.

Once you have your supplies, filling the candle is a four-step process:

  1. Fill the squirt bottle with oil.
  2. Pull one of the wicks (any of them will do) completely out and squeeze the oil into the hole.
  3. Replace the wick. Rolling the wick between your fingers before inserting them back into the candle is typically the easiest way to do it.
  4. Light the candle briefly. This will ensure the wicks are drawing up oil.
