Abstract
A wick temperature control unit is provided for controlling the temperature of a wick having the lower end portion dipped in a fuel tank for storing liquid fuel and the upper end portion inserted in a combustion chamber through a narrow path. The wick soaks up the liquid fuel by capillary action in the combustion chamber and evaporates the liquid fuel therein. The wick temperature control unit holds the temperature of the upper end portion of the wick in accordance with a given heating power state, thereby contributing to widen a heating power adjustment range.
