Canned Heat
For Smile on Saturday theme 'Portray the Name of a Music Band'.
Canned Heat was an American blues and rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1965. They took their name from a 1928 song 'Canned Heat Blues' about an alcoholic who had turned to drinking Sterno, a jellied form of denatured alcohol (poisonous) meant to be burned in a tin and generically called 'Canned Heat'.
I had never heard of Sterno when I got the idea for this photograph and only discovered this when I googled for Canned Heat. Oddly enough, the flames in this photo were provided by a few small twigs and a gel combustible fuel containing denatured alcohol! The tin was safely placed inside my wood-burning stove before igniting.
