Yes.

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.
