A solid fuel burning system and method with an electronic ignition system is provided having a filament and a filament support. The filament support positions the filament adjacent the wick or bridge within a hollow core.

A wooden wick for use in a wax candle comprising a strip of a predetermined wood having each of a first predetermined length, a first predetermined width and a first predetermined thickness. Such wick further includes a booster member having each of a second predetermined length, a second predetermined width and a second predetermined thickness adhered to the strip of wood.

A wick configured from a single metallic meshed wick material continuously includes a spiral section with a shape including at least one loop, and a folded section with a shape including a fold. A first length extends away from the spiral section to the fold and along a first imaginary plane, and a second length extends from the fold to the spiral section and along a second imaginary plane. A wrapped section has a shape including at least one contour conforming shapes of the spiral and folded sections.

A solid fuel burning system and method with a wick having a bridge is provided. The system has a melted wax reservoir, a melting grate, and the wick. The melting grate is configured to receive a solid wax. The melting grate located above at least a portion of the melted wax reservoir so that wax melted on the melting grate can be received into the melted wax reservoir. The wick has a perimeter wall, a hollow core, the bridge, and an upper exit opening in communication with the hollow core. The bridge extends across the hollow core between a first portion and a second portion of the perimeter wall. A solid fuel burning system and method with an electronic ignition system is also provided having a power source, a filament, and a filament support. The filament support positions the filament adjacent the wick or bridge within the hollow core.

A method for forming substantially consistently-sized and substantially controllably-timed droplets is disclosed. An opening is provided through which a protrusion passes. The protrusion ends at a tip below the opening. A process liquid is provided to the opening at a controlled flow rate. The process liquid passes through the opening and flows along the protrusion, forming a droplet of the process liquid on the tip that reaches a substantially consistent droplet size and falls. The process liquid continues to pass through the opening at an even time interval based on the flow rate. In this manner, substantially consistently-sized and substantially controllably-timed droplets are formed.
