A cup is provided adjacent the generator tube of a kerosene lantern for holding a measured amount of fuel. A wick is located in the cup for burning the fuel at a controlled rate. A foraminous housing extends around and above the wick to control the entrainment of air with the fuel from the wick during burning and to direct the resulting flame against the generator tube thereby preheating fuel in the generator tube to its vaporization temperature until the heat of combustion of fuel at the mantle causes the vaporization of fuel in the generator to be self-sustaining. |
