Rarer Example in Green.

The Thermette is a Kiwi invention that is still the quickest way to boil water without electric power. It was invented by John Hart, of the Manawatu, in 1929, but achieved nationwide fame as the ' Benghazi Burner' in Egypt's Western Desert during World War II.   The amazingly efficient thermette can boil 12 cups of water in five minutes. The fuel can be any old rubbish, paper or straw. Thermettes used to be seen at picnics and used by workers at 'smokos' all over the country and modern versions are still being sold at many camping stores today.   A rarer early example in green with company logo, etc.
