Hey Lori,
“My non wick stoves work fine down to about freezing, actually.”
I thought you had a white box stove; and that goes even lower. Mine works great at 0F even w/o preheating--- though preheating (in the coat) speeds up the blooming process.

I have a V8 open-jet pressure stove that has fiberglass batting in the walls--- used as a wick. My daughter loves that cute stove and she’s been using it for 5 years. However, it just pitters out when it approaches 30F outside. So I wonder if ‘inside’ wicking is only good for some stoves and not others.

May your stove always bloom.
