How do I refuel a Peacock Hand Warmer?

I have an antique Hakkin Peacock Hand Warmer, one that say "made in colonized Japan" on it.

The burner looks like it is brand strange.

My research on the Hakkin hand radiator instructs me to remove the burner to refuel the hand electric fire. Beneath the burner is a bunch of cotton like fluff inside where on earth it looks like the fuel should travel.

What do I need to do to refuel the radiator?

Do I need to remove the fluff, or pour the fuel into the fluff or what?

Any warning would be appreciated.


Answers:    No, you pour the fuel directly into the cotton mesh. You use a fuel such as "sterno" which is commonly used for fondue pots. This is readily available at copious grocery stores or one stop shopping such as Fred Meyer, Walmart, etc.
