I’m sure the crewman in my model could have boiled the tea on the tank’s searchlight, or failing that, somewhere in the engine compartment. Nice bit of trivia: Australian Centurions in Vietnam had boot scrapers welded to the covers over the engine exhausts, so the crew could clean their boots before getting into the tank and so avoid as much mud inside as possible. These scrapers, though, were welded exactly far enough apart that a ration tin could be placed between them.
