"Tommy cooker" was a nickname for a British soldier's portable stove, which was fuelled by solidified alcohol, making it smokeless but very inefficient.
The term also came to be applied by the German tank crews as a derogatory nickname for the Sherman tank whose earlier models acquired a reputation for bursting up in flames when hit.
