Braided cotton cord, of appropriate diameter, makes a good wick.

As I posted previously, I made a torch from a small jar with a hole punched in the lid. My first attempt for a wick was some 3/16" braided rope but it must have been made of dacron or something similar. Problem was that it burned rather than the kerosene. Then I found a wick of similar size made of fiberglass. That worked.

It appears to me that the key to getting sooty smoke is to use kerosene. The other fuels for lanterns are made to be smokeless and odorless. They don't work.

My lamp is an old tin can with a screw top lid which I poked a hole through and then soldered a cut off cartridge case over the hole. Cheap and I have had it forever. Kerosene works great, you can add a bit of motor oil too.

I'll bet being cheap is the best part for you...

But not quite as cheap as going against Dave's wishes and running free advertising of your businesses in every post you make:

look for a old toy chemistry set, they had a nice small glass alcohol lamp that you could use with kerosene.

Not necessary. You can buy a new one on eBay for $10.99. See my earlier post.
