I've been thinking about meteor construction, and its dilemmas. The primary problem is that I don't want too much fire for my first burnable meteor, the thing is scary enough without fuel. This is a problem due to the fact that heavier meteors are just easier to spin, the more rotational momentum the better.

So, here's the quandary: how can we maximize the wick weight without having a huge amount of surface area (ie. flames), and not use a metal core for the wick that would 1) rust and 2) cause more damage than fire ever could on impact. I've got an idea or two, but I'd like to hear what other people have before I throw them out there.
