The Benghazi stove – one minute survival tip
This time: The desert cooker aka Benghazi stove.
The ‘Benghazi Stove’ is an improvised cooking stove, consisting of three simple items, Dry Sand, Petrol and an Old Tin Can. The ‘Benghazi Stove’ was innovated by the “Desert Rats” in North Africa, during WW2. Partially fill the Tin can with Dry Sand and then pour either Diesel or Petrol into the sand and let it soak in; when set alight, it would heat your water or food.
