I have used the Benghazi Stoves many times in the past; I first came across it outside of survival manuals on my first trip to Africa when I was 18. We used them to mark the Helo LZ at our FOB out in the bush.
The biggest risk of injury is not from lighting them but when adding fuel to them after you think they have gone out.
