The link given by Buck dismisses the "wick effect", saying that it doesn't take witness statements into account. Naturally, it doesn't bother to explain how it contradicts these statements but cuts straight to SHC still being an unexplained mystery which they like at "Mystical Blaze". I think the wick effect renders SHC as "mysterious" as the Bermuda Triangle.
For a slightly more rigorous look at spontaneous human combustion, see:
