I will have to look but I think the wick riser on those is included with the wick like most Aladdin lamps.

The "Kosmos" you show is a Gaudard version of a Matador, minus its flame spreader, they aren't very good burners sadly. Actual Kosmos burners don't have the deflector cone and have a taller wick tube.

@TheWickShop 4 ай бұрын

You are correct. In fact, it was so bad as a Matador that we took the flame spreader out and run it like a Kosmos.

@IainiaI 4 ай бұрын

@@TheWickShop yes, I remember having one once, it was a nightmare to get a good flame, not a patch on real Matador burners. Gaudard don't seem to care about things like correct chimneys, they sell some Kosmos lamps with Vienna bulge type chimneys on their website (last time I looked).

@TheWickShop 4 ай бұрын

Honestly though, if you run them as a kosmos with one of our sans-rival pattern, chimneys outside of the wick being difficult to raise and lower, they do pretty good.

I hate it when i find a nice lamp or heater that someone destroyed by gutting it, sticking a light bulb in and painting flowers on it....

@TheWickShop 2 ай бұрын

The worst is when someone guys and paints a Perfection heater and outs a bulb in it…

@kurtrussell5228 2 ай бұрын

@@TheWickShop I've been after a perfection heater for years, all i come across is gutted ones with a bulb.... i did find one with the glass view, the whole bottom of the tube was glass... but it was missing the flame spreader, and good luck finding one of those.

They come up on eBay occasionally but I think we may have one or two floating around. Send us an email and we will see what we can do.
