I thought that but they usually have a pump on them?
Perhaps I have to make something to use it?

No.
Go buy a stove and restore it and have fun.

My No12 Army stoves get used a lot, now I have them.

Sell it on the Facebook stove and lamp collectors group. Anything like that I find they snap it up.

Haven't used it in awhile, but I favour our old "G I " stove from the 1950's. Its the nickel plated civilian version on the left of my old photo. Even the box has survived the test of time.

I made a Stellarator out of one based on the design by Lyman Spitzer.
Lyman's Model A demonstrated plasma confinement.
