Book 3 — An Emergency Alcohol Stove
Reading edition
If a person starts on a picnic with a ketchup bottle full of wood alcohol placed in the lunch basket and suddenly discovers that the alcohol stove was left at home, it is not necessary to walk back to get it; just unscrew the cover of the ketchup bottle and bunch a piece of cloth large enough to fill the top, soak it thoroughly in the alcohol and light it. The metal top is just the right size to make a hot flame.
¶A box 8¹⁄₄ in. square and 4 in. deep will hold one gallon.
