Considering the amount of fire, those lamps would weigh quite a bit. Oil is fairly heavy and hard to transport without ceramics which are also heavy. Particularly in those quatities. Not to mention the best flammable material the Dothraki would probably have access to would be dried animal dung.
Braziers make a lot more sense and that is what they looked like considering they were full of flame instead of a single wick.
