This is the petrol that the majority of people in Iraq use during winter. It is our friend when it is too cold☺️. Few days ago a cold wave hit the whole world so we turn on these heaters when we wake up until we go to bed at night. It adds a cozy atmosphere to the house as we use it to heat water and making tea☕️. We call it souba, I don’t know the origin of this word as the Arabic word is of heater is مدفأة.

We used to have one of these when I was a kid. You gave nostalgia LOL. By the way Nada:

It makes me warm just looking at it. I will show you what I have in my home sometime later.
