wick.

I've never had a wick in my touring.

Though a might be a good idea.

In fact I've yet to find a place one could put one on the tourings.

Since the flow is regulated by the shutoff valve. The alcohol does not flow all that fast once the stove is warmed up. It's a good stove design where thermal presure is concerned.

However when starting the stove (cold start)
the fuel flow is a bit fast and floods the bottom of the case (by the burner). This is normal, however a wick would give a better amount of start fuel, and avoid the flaring up.

The difference with the touring is the fact that it has 2 fuel lines form the tank (that join to the shutoff valve), while the sport only has one.

The touring has no seperated parts, so it's basicaly "open and light".


I hope this helps.
