Not sure if I can carry this over properly, but stumbled across a 1945 field kitchen for sale and thought it was pretty cool. I hope the link works.

I would grab that in a heartbeat. I have a bit of an obsession with field kitchens. My dream is to find one of the Soviet or German wood fired ones . Also a. British triplex stove.

I don't have Facebook, and was able to see it just fine.

The cabinet is from the 1937 field stove. Possibly the large pot. Everything else is not original.

Is it gas powered or is there a wood box under there somewhere?

It looks like they have some sort of propane heater or lamp sitting on the ground underneath.

I saw that but that seems like a lot of stove for that but I bet you are right.

What's the likely ratio of these stoves to personnel? How many would a company have, for example? I seem to recall three or four hot-water stoves to heat our C-rations.

That is sweet! And only $100!

The original gasoline stove is much larger. That little propane burner isn’t going to do much.

I think it was 3 to a company but not 100% on that
