Stopped by the Samaritan store. Had a sticker for $25. Overall condition seems to be good. I have no idea how the wick looks but plan on getting spares anyway. I have basically an unlimited supply of jet-a.

Nice! Watch for fumes though, had one that just stunk to high Hell.

We used those when I was a kid, I'd like to find one cheap.

Most of the time the current wick isn't even bad. Put a half gallon in it and fire it up in a garage or outside and let it burn completely out. Then relight the wick and let it burn out again. Lightly brush the wick one direction with a tooth brush. Most of the time this wilk clean the wick and it will fire right up very cleanly.

Finally figured out how to get to the wick. It is in pretty good shape. I may take it to work tomorrow, add some kero and let it burn down like you suggest. I have a generator that will power half of my house and the gas heater.  This is a back up to my back up.

Get it adjusted so it burns cleanly and they don't stink that bad at all.
