I should think you have the wick up to height. light the wick then check
on
it after about 10 mins, the flame tends to get larger as the stove warms
up,
you want a nice BLUE flame with no sign of yellow.
I used to be able to trim the wicks just once a week, and I had 6 double
burner stoves burning , sometimes 24 hours a day if it was cold.

Is this for parrafin burning, I mean the blue flame bit, because nothing I
do to mine will ever make it burn blue, the wicks have been trimed, and nice
fresh parrafin and then the wicks can be turned down after five minutes of
burning and they will go out before they burn blue.

Yellow flame = incomplete combustion = carbon particles + carbon
monoxide. Remember Bunsen burners at school? When you closed the
little vent the flame would turn yellow. You have to increase the
oxygen supply. Make sure any vents aren't blocked/closed or fit some
sort of chimney to increase the air flow.
