I found this at a surplus store years ago, and I had to have it! It's SOOOOOOO much better than a Coleman, and it can burn just about anything. That 2-foot-long 2"-diameter pipe running up the middle is the MONSTER vapor generator, so it could probably run on coal tar, if you could get it to flow up there. It's really only meant to burn gas/avgas/mogas, and I've only burned gas, but it does fine with soured/contaminated/oil-mix gas. I've used it MANY times to brew beer because it's so adjustable, but I've also used it to remove paint from cast iron & cast Aluminum parts.

The scrap of stainless on the corner is the slot-cleaning tool.
