Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

An interesting experiment. Have you checked how much soot is produced when the wood wick burns? Already candles produce too much soot in my opinion. I really like the smell of beeswax candles. But even with very small steam engines, I also prefer alcohol burners. They also produce a little soot, but not as much.
