Abstract:
I. Product and its uses
Wick Stove is a very common household utility
item. Since it is very simple and ccnvenient
to operate and since unlike pressure stove it
is without the risk of accident due to bursting,
it is becoming more and more popular. To
avoid elaborate and crude form of firing arrangement
in coal fired chulahs, more and more
people are changing over to the use of Wick
Stoves for cooking purposes. Even in the
houses where coal chulahs are in use, Wick
Stoves are kept as stand by and for occasional
light cooking purposes, heating of milk for'
children and for preparing tea, coffee etc. Since
kerosene oil is available in every village for
burning lamps, availability of this fuel is more
assured to rural areas than that of coal. Hence,
Wick Stoves have become popular in rural areas
as well. The urban households using LPG
stoves, keep a wick stove as stand by.
