Re: [biofuel] WVO wick
Has anyone tried or had luck burning WVO with a wick? Yes. On another board I read that a guy built a burner based around a wick method. So did we. It's said, as with biodiesel, that it won't travel up a wick, but it depends on the wick. The wick should be loose, not tightly wound, thick (about 1cm) with plenty of room in whatever it's fitted into (a loose fit), and the burning bit has to be less than about 3cm maximum from the fuel level. Todd Swearingen previously suggested a donut-shaped arrangement around the burning wick(s) to get the fuel level right. You'd need a few such wicks going for an effective stove, maybe six or eight. Adjusting them all, and lowering them to extinguish the stove, are problems to be solved, but shouldn't be too hard.

Re: [biofuel] WVO wick
Floating wicks or simple wick holders can be fashioned, as simple as a piece of copper ground wire around the wick to support it, or hang it off of a jar, and wound around the wick loosely and into the oil (this also transfers heat back down into the oil, so it acts as a preheater) ... or take a long-neck (emptied!) beer bottle, punch a hole in the cap, install lamp wick to a tight fit, fill bottle with vegoil, reinstall capthan lay it down on its side. That will get the oil thru the wick, whereas it will not work if the bottle is standing upright. You can then set a bunch of these in a row or in a circle for an interesting effect, and get some decent BTU's at the same time! Changing the angle of the bottle, and adjusting the wick protrusion from the cap will give the desired amount of flame...keep the wicks trimmed, clean and fairly short and they will burn for an hour or so at at time, then usually need have the carbon knocked off, and be re-lit.

x-charset ISO-8859-1Yep, Too much smoke, inconsistent flame, flaring and nasty fast food odour... If you are trying to impress your honey with a romantic WVO lamp, not a good idea.
