Era from technologies
The model in the picture is a paraffin cooker from the manufacturer "AKARIA". It is an exhibit of the Nobel Brothers' Technological Museum. It is made of cast iron and has a wick with a cross-section that was developed in the 19th century.
Oven with a wick is a tool for cooking food. It is frequently used in everyday life. It's usage in family is convenient and not dangerous if the necessary fire safety measures are followed.
It is important to remember that we should use such fuel that is in good condition. The Kerosene should be placed on a solid table covered with a piece of tin. It is completely unacceptable and dangerous to place burning kerosene on the balcony, in the pantry, in the exits, in strong winds, moving the burning Oven from one place to another, when pouring fuel or ligroin into it, or pouring kerosene when it is hot. The operating principle of the cooker is very similar to that of a lamp. It has a kerosene container, a wick holder, a wick, and an adjusting handle. The power of the cooker depends on the height of the wick. The higher we raise the wick, the larger the flame; if we exceed this height, it turns black with smoke.
There are two types of wicks: round and sectional.
