is there any wick material inside the can? if so what exactly is the wicking material called and how is it put into the stove?
Yes. Between the outer wall of the cat food can and the inner wall of the S.S mesh is fiberglass muffler wrap for a wick. Actually, the latest version uses a solid S.S cylinder in place of the mesh.

The inner wall(mesh or solid)is a cylinder of about 2 5/16" diameter. It fits perfectly in the bottom of a Beer can pot and serves as the pot support.


also, does the SS mesh replace the need for a windscreen?
Nope.
