What about an engineers oil lamp? Ebay has lots of them. Something like this: https://ebay.us/4jf9rZ

In one of the Midway videos, Jack Rowe uses a stick with kerosene on it. It seems to make plenty of soot. He keeps the stick in a can of kerosene and then lights it with an oil lamp when he wants to make soot.
