I was disappointed when he didn't drag out a kerosene salamander. They
do leave a little aftertaste when you grill a steak with one.

Really? "...a kerosene salamander." Never saw one. The man does run a
chuck wagon on Texas ranches. Beat Bobby Flay for a show down, won on
an Alton Brown challenge (funny). Has an old iron stove he calls
Bertha. She's heavy but cooks good.

This is what I picture as the kerosene salamander:

My dad had one that he burned diesel fuel in. The temperature
adjustment was just a little rotating gate that controlled the air flow.

We called those something like smudge pots. Heating citrus and or
flower farms to reduce frost burn during freezes at night. On flower
farms, car tires were burned -- smoke prevented serious damage.

We always called them salamanders:

There's a long history of associating salamanders with fire, hence the name:

There is actually an amphibian called a fire salamander:
