Abstract
A die cut wick for use in a burner having a rectangular body that contains two half sections that are folded back into a face to face alignment. Each half section further contains a tab upwardly disposed from the top surface of the body, the tabs being centrally positioned on the half sections with the top surface of the body extending laterally to either side to form a shoulder. The tabs of the wick are folded against each other and passed upwardly through a hollow stud secured to the lid of the fuel container. The shoulders of the tabs abut the bottom surface of the lid to prevent the tabs from being drawn entirely through the stud and the body is secured to the bottom of the lid using holt melt glue or the like. The end of the tabs extend beyond the top of the stud to form the flame region of the burner. The end of the tabs extend beyond the top of the stud to form the flame region of the burner. The burning rate and heat output of the flame is controlled by separating the exposed ends of the tabs.
