Main article: Benghazi burner
The Benghazi burner (Thermette) design originates as an independent invention in 1929[15] by John Ashley Hart. It uses an internally narrowing (conical) chimney and a construction of either copper or tin plate. The shape is a straight cylinder leading up to a flat top; the water spout also being on the flat top.[16] Pouring is done with a fixed handle on the side, and the base can be removed. The Thermette is considered a New Zealand cultural icon.[17]

The first url in the original post gives all the details, including the fact that the troops used petrol. The Germans couldn't work out what all the burnt circles were in the desert sand, until they found the cause and used it as a sign that Kiwi troops had been there.
