Hi Jon,
I came across several unissued ones in Australia, released from their army. Shipped one back home and subsequently sold it to a re-enactor / collector. It was wartime dated. There was a TM with it, a poor photocopy, but I made a note of the number, it is TM10-703 Outfit, Cooking, Small Detachment.
A jerrican with a pipe and special adaptor was used to supply the fuel, the can being used on it side, filler to bottom. The are rated as 15-40 men units.

Richard: The manual that I have is TB 10-400-2...(same description). It was kindly sent to me by Brian Asbury.
No-where can I find at any stage in the manual, or other reference material, the actual application of flame to fuel.
That's what's got me puzzled. There is a round burner unit which feeds from the jerry can via a rubber siphon hose. Could the drip be lit at the burner?
