Kerosene stoves I have reviews of Butterfly stoves available. Click here. There are many different types and styles of Butterfly stoves. The #2457 and #2628 are conventional multi-wick stoves, and I have the wicks or you can use a strand from a cotton mop head as a wick. These are inexpensive stoves, but they work. Being all metal, they are sturdy. See the links below on how to set up a Butterfly #2457 or #2628 to work properly. I still have a Butterfly #2457, as the design of the grill holds the Butterfly oven very nicely. Butterfly manufactured gravity-fed designs, such as the #2413, 2417, 2418. Photos of these stoves are listed in the Photo Album at my Wick Shop web site. These stoves all use a glass reservoir for fuel, but with care it will last for a long time. The proprietary wick used in these stoves stands on its edge in a slot - it does NOT move up and down to control the heat output like the multi-wick stoves. The wick will last a long time with proper care, but you must have spare wicks! I use a Butterfly #2418 double burner stove for normal kitchen type cooking, but I made sure I had a dozen spare wicks on hand. If you have a question, e-mail me at miles@milesstair.com .
