how do you change the wick

Take the housing (shell) off. The wick simply skids off and the new one goes on like a sock. The old one will be a little messy so have a hand wipe nearby. Be very careful as the metal edges are all sharp!

Tried it once with another heater and was not too successful. In fact that is how I ended up purchasing this one. The other one got ruined and I threw it out. You can find instructions online if you research the subject.

As a handy-person and long time owner of several kerosene heaters, I have replaced a few wicks over the years and I don't know of any that come with pins. The mechanism that makes the wick go up and down, holds the wick in place with many barbs that pierce the red collar part of the wick during installation. The installation instructions explain that you fold the wick to get it inside the mechanism, get it in proper alignment and press the red collar of the wick into the barbs evenly all around. Hope I have explained this to you adequately (I used to write technical manuals).

Lighter fluid but u have to use another lighter to light it unless you buy a new wick for it.

I'm not sure, probably from Afterglow or any craft store that sells candle & lamp supplies. I've not had to replace a wick yet.

I have tried several times to adjust the wick and have had no luck. My heater burns ok except a small flame on the right side of the glass cylinder top. Overall the heater is pretty poor in quality and not the same as the older models

Take the chimney off. Raise the wick until it clicks in place. Light the wick in two or three places. Put the chimney back in place. Do it asquickly as possible. There will be a little smoke and odor.

It comes with a wick, you can light it with a match or lighter and you just blow it out like a candle. It is a very nice oil lamp

Purchase a "LPG" conversion kit. It will tell you all the tools you need to change the orifices. You WILL need a magnifying glass to read the number on the replacement parts. You may need the range manual as well. DO read the instructions first. Then follow the step by step instructions.

It is very simple. I found it easiest to remove all the racks first. Then lay the smoker on its back. Unscrew the screws securing the heating element cover. You will see four screws holding down the ceramic pieces covering the ends of the heating element. Remove these and undo the nuts holding the wires to the hearing element. To install the new one, reverse the process. Good luck.

Remove the one in the old one in the smoke box, and replace the new one using the existing screws. Just reverse how you remove it. It was a simple process.

Well it not have the holes to put the wick, but what did was, I made a little hole in the bottom of the mold mold and because it is silicone after I passed the wick it it heals by itself. Hope it help. It is really beautiful mold.

what? I replace my WICK every 2 or 3 weeks. It gets loaded with mold if you leave it in there longer.

I think that the preceding respondents have all answered the question well. I second the answer on the batteries too. Sometimes you have to hold the ignition switch down a little long for the spark to catch on. If you've used the burner a lot and it's not igniting, you may need to do a carbon removal/dry burn procedure on the wick . See Manual, page 10. I did this on our heater, and it made a world of difference. J. Suprys

Fill with butane - purchased in any hardware store - through the small round port on the side of the handle below the lock switch. Refilling instructions should be on the handle

if it smells strong, it's because of the fuel, you can turn it down a little and it won't smell as strong, we do not run ours on high because of that. I believe adjusting the wick will fix flame.

It's use of standard flints leads me to believe that it also uses standard wicks. I lost mine before those became relevant issues, so forgive me if I'm wrong. Aside from their availability at smoke shops , I believe I've seen them both(wicks and flint) on Amazon. Good hunting!

Sterno doesn't use a wick. The fluid burns directly from inside the can. The shape and size of the opening dictates the flame size.
