kerosene stove
Portable cooking appliance
A kerosene stove is a portable heating or cooking appliance that burns kerosene fuel.
Common in areas without reliable electricity or gas service, and as backup during power outages: We kept a kerosene stove in the basement for emergencies.
The fuel is stored in a reservoir and drawn up through a wick to be burned.
