We were thinking of a large goblet type thing, lined with waste cooking oil that could burn slowly for many hours... I dont really have any idea if thats possible or enviromentally friendly. do you have any ideas?

Poly fiber melts as too low a tempture to be of any use.

You could try braiding the t-shirt strips into a tight braid to see if that helps... try something with thicker threads, cotton rope, maybe fiberglass torch wicking or oven/stove door gasketing, also fiberglass.

When I tried it, the wick (made from a 100% cotton tee-shirt) sloooowly burned down to a black nub, then went out completely. I tried making a looser-fitting wick, and punched several air holes in the bottle cap, but the same thing happened. I am using soybean oil. Anyone have a clue for me? Thanks! Neat idea!

Perhaps it can. It has its own wick? It's better really to sift/filter the oil several times to make it "cleaner" to make it lit longer. You can take Billie's suggestions. You can also use old cotton socks to make filtering cleaner. I see. Perhaps it can. It has its own wick?

Cotton twine makes a great wick, if you do use tshirt strips, make sure it's an all cotton shirt. Oil lamps date back to prehistoric times. There was a statement about being harmful. it's not as harmful as kerosine and battries are not all that recyclable. One thing I would do. is filter the oil through a coffee filter or old knee high hose type sock to get the larger particals out of it.
