The original wick one was of no use, I had to dig it out. The new one is ‘stove rope’ wrapped around some twisted brass wire (I repurposed one I’d made for my Turm 36). I’m using bioethanol / de-natured alcohol. 96.6% pure according to the label. -R
A stove rope is made of what? Here is how an original is made of cotton for your information. We believe one made of Fibre glass is best for long term. I will try to find a link about the subject for you. Middle one is original. Left one , Fibreglass.
