Where Can I purchase Fiberglass primer fire cord on 09/29/2007 15:43:48 MDT Print View

I have seen fiberglass primer fire cord used many times wrapped around alcohol burners to prime the burner by dripping a bit of alcohol onto it and then lighting the alcohol soaked cord. I would like to purchase some of this cord but can not find it locally. Any assistance with online suppliers would be appreciated. Any futher suggestions about the best way to adhere the cord to a burner would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Thanks for source for wicks on 09/29/2007 18:37:07 MDT Print View

Did not know quite how to phrase it, so knowing that they are called fiberglass wicks allowed me to Google it and I found a lot of sites selling it. Thanks!

Hey Mitchell,

It's tough to find it locally. Here are two good sources online:

To attach it to your stove, use JB Weld. You can get it at your local hardware or auto parts store: http://jbweld.net/products/jbweld.php
