Guiness does have it right. I remember my family having one of these when I was a kid. Kamper mentions a legitimate concern about putting the hot stone back into the pot - that is solved by the ingenious design of the pot. If one looks inside, I'd bet that the pot has two chambers. One holds the kerosene, the other is kept empty. The empty side provides a place to put the hot stone. After is cools off, it is then moved to the full side to soak up the fuel for use in starting the next fire.
