I can't help with the stove but have used something similar where the
wick was wound up  by a thumbwheel, you wound it just high enough for
the flame to remain blue. They were "aladdin stoves" and continue to
be available for greenhouse heating. Using heating oil/kerosene in
these tended to block the wick and the wick could not be turned up as
far so lower power IIRC.

The fuel was paraffin which ceased to be available cheaply decades ago
in UK. kerosene is generally a heavier oil and used for heating as 28
second heating kerosene.  Gasoil and diesel are  the same and 35
second redwood. A higher grade kerosene is available for the wicked
AGA cookers, it's still 28 second but much more expensive. With these
cookers once they are up to temperature they act in a vaporising mode
and the wick doesn't burn as it is below the flame.

Gasoline in UK is petrol.
