Well the ones where the clay pot sits in the tall blue one is my favorite. And the little clay ones have holes in the bottom of them. So the wicks will work fine with them. And the ones that sit on the little trays are all clay and have holes in the bottom. I think I will check out the little white ceramic ones and see if I can drill a hole in them. I am going back to Big Lots and get some more of the tall blue ones so that I can use them with the wick system. What do you think about the ones that sit on the little tray. Can I just put water in the little tray and water from below or should I put wicks in them. Will the wick system work with these if I just sit them on the little trays and put water in the little trays? The ones pictured below are the ones that I'm talking about. I guess what I am asking is if the pots have wicks in them but are sitting on the wicks, will the water travel up the wick anyway. Does water travel up the wick if the pot is sitting on the wick? Wow. That was a lot to say for one little set of pots.
