Abstract

A cap for closing the burner of a liquid fuel cell and protecting the burner wick. The burner wick has upraised adjustable tabs that can be separated to control the heat output of the cell. The cap contains a die member that is arranged to move between the tabs when the cap is closed over the burner to position the tabs at a desired standard heat setting that is best suited for a majority of fuel cell applications.
