When the Cubans fled Castro they brought a few of their most valued,
compact and valued possessions with them---among them a a means of
preparing food by stacking three pots vertically on top of a small
pressurized kerosene lamp/stove. The "Rapid Start " model had a built-in
flint spark-igniter. If you opened the fuel-flow valve and allowed
kerosene to dribble into a a small heater pan, pushed on the igniter,
the pan would ignite and warm the fuel---pressurizing the kerosene to
the point where the kerosene mantle would glow.
Mine was an "Aida". There were numerous trade names---Petromax the most
common. They were manufactured by the millions, still are in China
today Mine cost me fifty dollars, including a shockproof case with wire
handle. A rare bargain.
