A cooking fuel device includes a fuel container and a wick supporting member positioned at the top of the container. The wick supporting member substantially closes the fuel container and contains at least one aperture to communicate with the interior of the container. A wick formed from a piled fabric includes a burn portion and a fuel feed portion. The fuel feed portion extends through the aperture into the fuel in the container. A cover having a central aperture is positioned over the top of the container to define the burn area on the wick. A peelable lid is adhesively attached to the cover and the wick which when removed will raise the pile on the wick.

Organic liquids can be very effectively gelled by using in combination with an amine neutralized anionic polymer an auxiliary rheological additive. The auxiliary rheological additive is a substance which increases the linearity of the anionic polymer and its thixotropic properties. Suitable auxiliary rheological additives are amphoteric oxides and/or fatty acids and/or fatty acid salts. The organic liquids that can be effectively gelled are organic solvents which include fuels such as hydrocarbons and alcohols.
