I was lucky enough for a special person to send me a bunch of different wicks to test out and I found the Koh Gen Do and cellucotton to be outstanding. I just need to find a use for all those cotton balls I bought because I will never go back to them.
Do you or any of your friends/family BBQ with charcoal?
You can stuff the cotton balls firmly into a glass jar, I use empty salsa jars.
Fill the jar with Denatured Alcohol, or Grain Alcohol, until the cotton balls no longer absorb any alcohol. Close jar with lid.
Use as fire starters for charcoal. I usually use 2-3 balls to start a chimney of charcoal, but little as 1 can be used.
Burns hot, burns clean, cheaper than store bought ones!
On topic...I received some Japanese cotton as an add-on in a classifieds deal. Really starting to get the hang of using it, and starting to like it a lot !!
