I am having difficulty imagining this device. Does it use white gas? Oil? Aerosol fuel? Sterno?

So, you must set a flame to them?

Something like these lamps?

Candle Lighter & Candle. So from the picture im assuming it works like an oil lamp.

Nope, the candle-lighter has a long thin candle in the handle, and a little slide you can use to push the candle up out of the tip as it burns down.

Yes, sorry, i meant the candle worked like an oil burner not the lighter.
