How are oil candles lit for Hanukkah?
To use an oil hanukiyah (menorah), you'll need some special short wicks - you can buy wicks from hobby stores and cut it to the correct length, or visit a Hebrew bookstore which will stock them in the correct size. Wicks can easily be rolled from raw cotton or cotton balls. The oil cups on the hanukiyah are then filled with the oil. The wicks, usually fitted with glass or metal discs to hold them above the oil, are placed in them. These are then lit using the shamash (helper or attendant candle) just as you would with a candle hanukiyah.
How do you get your three wick candle to burn even?
Remove some wax and re-burn the candle to level out the wax melt. When the candle wax is solid, carve out a "moat" from the wax, around the circumference of the candle, by running a knife (or spoon) around the edge of the glass. Depending on how short your wicks have gotten, make your moat about 1/2" deep by 1/2" wide (for a 4" diameter candle). It doesn't have to be pretty; it'll all smooth out when re-burning. Next, scoop out the wax berms between the three wicks and in the middle of the candle. Depending on how shallow your wicks have gotten, you could go 1/4" to 1/2" deep here. Then relight the candle and let it burn for several hours until the wax has re-leveled itself. You can help it along by gently tilting the candle in a circle after about an hour of burn time. Repeat as needed.
