    It is a fantastic item John but as you say Ephemera - so not paraffinalia that can be deployed with an actual stove. Maybe an idea for a EOTY another time? Sorry!

    I see the instructions show it over fire coals but i guess it would work on a camp stove too. To comply with the rules please submit a picture of it atop a stove - doesn't need to be lit. Sorry again!

    Thanks, Ross! I'll see if I can locate my Bendonn, and if so, will snap another pic, and post it. I see your point, and agree 100%. Thanks, and God Bless!

    And here we see him among his smaller siblings, and in full use of his powers.

    @Spiritburner origin of word here "paraffinalia" actually comes/is derived from "paraffin"?

    @Daryl in the second picture are those MSR Whisperlite International? Or what are they? And what fuel do they use?
