Lost a few eyebrows using it. Stay low when lighting after it goes out and take stacks off first. They can fly pretty high. Retired USAF cook. Thanks for the memories.

Had these in British military, used to get these going wild with flame out the top lol

When they go off with a bang, they go off with a BANG. I used them many a time in my short carer

As a US army cook, I used set up these heaters in the trash cans. Three cans in a line, wash, rinse and sanitation. The kitchen police (KPs) did the dirty work of washing kitchen pots and pans. These M67 are hard to come by.

❤❤❤ Love it love it and you did get a good deal on that right now I’ll check it on eBay they’re 800 bucks for a brand new one still in the crate along with a 33 gallon trash cans that we used to use I believe one of those up while sitting up at Phillys cleaning station on maneuvers for the army in about 85 I would say maybe 86 I was setting up a roll of seven of them and I have damage so often that I would go down through there in and fill seven of those cups about 3/4 of the way with petrol and it did it ran Mopar gas we put regular gas lead in it back then. I had filled up all seven of those little cups we also had wicks that you would dip down and then like them and use the wet to let each one open up and just go down today and let each one open it stick to it do it go to the next go to the next and you let them burn for a little bit they warm up the flu the four pipes. After giving time for the flues to be nice and hot. You could walk down through the row Holding open the little cup still burning turning on the valve or tap to a drip that would catch the flame in there it would hit the dispersing plate at the bottom turned into a nice little burning grow The faster you set the drip to where it look like. beads coming out Have that boiling in no time. I went back through them lighting them after the flues were hot One add gone out the little cup was no longer burning. It happens so I refilled my cup and when I went to ignite. It blew up throwing this wax my hat and it’s pouring my body and I’m not sure it was a blur I was about 15 feet away from it on my back nice red glow burned my face and every piece of facial hair eyebrows eyelashes burned and knotted up in the little knots that I had to shave off. All because I did not notice the little gasket underneath the filler cap that was slowly dripping leaking gasoline straight into the chamber the whole time I was waiting for the flues to heat. Sorry for such a long time it just brought back a powerful memory thanks for sharing John L. McDaniel. California USA 😮

Fantastic deal, the bin alone is worth 2 X the price. I have paid 100.00 USD. w / NO bin for those and they work great. I heat stock tanks with them for livestock, Word of advise make sure you use 4 sections of pipe for proper draft and screw them together too. Make sure you get good drafting Going, sometimes I have to fill the the cup twice. Then to light, I like to use one square of thin Toilet paper Just wet the corner light that drop in then start the drip, If it goes out use a second piece or toss a match down, Hard to get going with diesel without the paper. Gas works better to get going but can woof on you. do NOT look down it whilst lighting off.....

I used one of those in the mid 1980's on exercise in BAOR. A brilliant bit of kit. Only ever used it with petrol though and it would bring that dustbin to a rolling boil in one hour or less if memory serves. A steel for 25 quid.

loved lighting these things, do they go with a bang, :)

Always wanted to get one of these, can't believe you got one for 25 quid. Puffing billies or Canadian burners we called em. Using one on exercise I took my eyebrows off a couple of times. Even had flames coming out the tall end one time and the flue glowing red hot.

Great find. Did you make a follow up video? I can’t find it. I want to see if it’s practical to have a hot bath in middle of nowhere camping

I remember these in the gulf... kitchen mortars.

I need one

Question for you what is your thoughts of this being converted to use wood for burning and not fuel? Do you think it would work?

Thay were death traps seen lads with no hair and eyebrows gone and black faces😂😂😂

Hi there, where did you find it? Just what I'm looking for, cheers j

I remember these in the Canadian army , and yea is gasoline , light it the wrong way and say goodbye to ur beard and eye brows

Called puffing billies...used to get the new lads to light them when on Hohne Ranges...watch the eyebrows disappear! Warning...!!! DO NOT FILL THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN BEFORE LIGHTING....You have been warned...
