I prefer to use a MiniBic but for lighting open stoves like the Caldera Cone or Packafeather you have to use matches or dip a stick in the alcohol and light it with the Bic. Trying to find a stick each time did not appeal (can't find them in places like some dry Southwest sites and they could be wet in other areas). I took about a 1" square of fiberglass cloth where one side was the factory finished edge. I put thin tape on the other 3 to keep them from unraveling while folding it into a small wad so that the last edge out was the factory edge. I then took a piece of phone wire (the red one from a 4 wire cable) and twisted it around the fiberglass. It is so light I couldn't weigh it and it easily stores with the stove. In fact a much smaller piece of cloth would work (a scrap of 1/16" wick). I I simply dip it in the open top of the stove before lighting it. I made it long enough so that my tall cone screen can be in place which is great in a strong wind and bent it a couple of offsets so that the flames aren't licking up the wire as I lower it down.
I would have posted a pic but couldn't find on the forum instruction on how to.
