I own both a Whisperlite and a Whisperlite Internationale. They both light exactly the same, with a small, very small, amount of gas in the priming cup. The Whisperlite Internationale has the "wick", the Whisperlite does not.

As in both the Whisperlite and the Internationale, the instructions for the Simmerlite say to use just "1/2 spoonful" of fuel; in the case of the Simmerlite, you "wet the entire burner head." However, the basic principle is the same, and if gas is spilling on the ground and burning, you either have a defective stove or are using too much fuel.
