I grew up in Indonesia. When I went home last year, I was so happy that my mom still keeps and uses this old stove beside her gas stove. The bottom part is a tank that holds kerosene; the middle part contains tunnels that hold wicks all around it which come out through the top. We lit the wicks with regular matches just like we would candle here. We used to cook all kind of great and delicious food on them..oh fun memories.
