Fernandes de Oliveria.

I did a test with some cotton I had laying around, but did not notice any improvement. Will give some steel wool further testing. The cotton adds a lingering smell factor.

In the Trangia page this wick is visible in a “exploded” stove.

Add a wick – cotton cloth, steel wool, fiberglass wool for insulation, carbon felt, ceramic wool… inside the closed camera, this reduce the bloom time.
