Aluminum Foil. A piece of aluminum foil (See Figure 2-56) is enclosed with the pocket stove. When using
aircraft fuel in the stove, fold the foil into the stove or wrap the outside of the stove, being careful not to tear the
foil, and making certain that the foil covers the corner joints of the stove. Do this prior to filling the stove with soil
and then aircraft fuel. If this is not done, fuel will run from the stove causing a fire hazard. Excess foil has many
uses in a survival situation, (i.e., signaling, reflecting fire heat).
