If you have an old fashioned wick type kerosene lamp, unscrew the top, pour in the kerosene- (half way is fine, it will burn for hours and hours), light the wick, and then put on the chimney. Adjust the wick down, so it stops smoking. The lamp should not smoke at all, if it does turn the wick down. Hope this helps. We light our house all the time with these!
