What I did with my 2026 was tear it down and clean out all that waxy mess of a buildup from the SP pellets all those years and freed up the piston. Then I replaced the wick and added a spring which it did not have.
Thereafter I have been using JT's liquid smoke fluid and it is working better than ever. Lasts a long time too. It puffs much better because of the spring.
