We had one of those.
It was tricky filling up the bottle and then flipping it upside down. That is, if LFSB allowed you some kero.
Thinking about this, the PPP government seem like a lifesaver!

Kerosene stove, kerosene lamps and gas lamps were available in Burnham days. Let's not give Jagan all the credit.

yes,,,but no gas and kero to fill them up.

I like sniffing kero

I was living in Corentyne Berbice, and kerosene was available. Well, the kerosene was a scarce commodity but the stove only used when rain fall heavily. We use to buy kerosene and save it for rainy days. So, it all worked out well.

Me SIL had one and whenever its rain she cook on the stove in the inside kitchen, fireside used to be outside.

There's another good use for kerosene. Guyanese people drink it as a substitute poison when they're heart broken.

I now see why Guyanese girls does get so hot!

We used to sell kero in our grocery shop.

Those 1 burners were tricky because the wick lever was slid up and down and you just touch and the damn thing flare up. You touch it again and it hout.
