[Stoves] Wick Burners: Martin's Tea Time Candle Stove

[Boll, Martin Dr.]

Frank,
Your thoughts, to direct the heat, without warming up the big mass of a
stove, directly to the "food" are the same as Frans-Peeter's.
His proposals and tests are no phantasms, though being a little bit too
refined for low-tech-stoving with low cost stoves. But "de-larded" (I
translate latterly a German expression) his proposals are make-able and
desirable for many and even poor users. 
By the way: Remind the simple method of the chimney going through a certain
soup-pot (The name of which I don't know now). That was an attempt already
made long ago. (I think as well of the more modern Kelly-kettle).
And if we would connect that sort of pot with the modern technic and add
cooling/heating fins that can possibly be a simple way to combine our
wishes. (A small-scale camping gas-heater with fin-warmth-transport is
constructed in North-America. They say fuel/butane-saving is 50%
(To ameliorate; the boiling water can contain fins as well, but not the
soup) 
The direction I think to go with the tea-candles, you will see in another
posting.
I would like to hear more about your idea with fuel-sticks.
How do you get them easily "self-burning" like candles?

We will keep the wicks in mind!

Regards

Martin
