I used to help a farmer deliver milk with his horse and cart.

Does anyone remember those days and the gardeners rushing out with buckets and shovels to collect the horse's exhaust?

Don't some people still have them? Obviously one can still use an electric kettle if one has gas.

I bought one thinking it might work on our woodstove in the event of power loss. Not had to try it yet.
