Hi Folks,
Have not long scored this fantastic US Small Detachment Oven dated 1944 which can cater for up to a 20 to 30 man detachment. When I get my other computer back on board I will scan the instruction manual for all to see.
This small detachment cooking outfit weighed 80 pounds but was so constructed that it could be packed in two equal parts, which could be carried on pack boards by two men. When set up for cooking, the stove was a rectangular box measuring 18 by 24 by 12 inches in size, with a sectional stovepipe about 6 feet long. This stove was operated by a flow of liquid fuel from a 5-gallon gasoline can.
Components of the outfit included aluminium cookpots of assorted sizes, stainless steel frying pans, a sterilizing pan for mess gear, and various other small accessories.
For packing purposes, the cooking utensils fitted together in the upper half of the stove, while the stovepipe telescoped into one short
lengthand the burner were packed in the lower half.
When I get my other computer back on board I will scan the instruction manual for all to see.
Cheers,
BOUGAINVILLE
