Reference:
“I [Leon L. Parris] remember the “jerry-rigged” 100 octane, gas fired 10 gallon drum stove in the middle of our tent, its improvised vent stack, the used tubing clamps, and the tubing pinch clamp which regulated the flame over the rocks in the stove. The stove would not pass today’s safety standards and should not have then!” (Ostergaard, Albert J., Eyes Over Europe: The 32nd Photo Reconnaissance Squadron of San Severo, Italy, 1944–1945, Ellisville, MO, 1996, 138.)
