I do believe you need to use something with a very very high cotton content because it is a natural fiber that will not just melt and burn. As with the flame out the hole; you pretty much nailed it, it is causing a sort of gasification reaction because it is at its critical temp. , but I use this gas as a way to tell when its done. If it wont light anymore, there isn't much of a reaction going on and you can pull it. I use an Altoids tin for mine, which is hardly sealed but serves my purpose, plus its pretty cool when the gas burns out of the hole and around the hinges ...yes, simple things/simple minds lol. You can use just about any natural fibrous material (the inner bark of a tree for example) just so long as it is not rotten or falling apart.
