Do to another discussion on these forums I've been doing some thinking about the ability to heat a tent aswell as cook in one with one device! And something like this might be the answer on a three+ day hike!
Sorry for cutting a lot out of your post Jim but this is the bit that got me interested in giving one of these candles a shot!

You cannot die from carbonmonoxide from candles and apparently seal oil lamps can be used in igloos without harm. I think there is a lot of old technology that would be useful to modern campers, except people think newer is better.
