    hmmm… Have you guys cooked on a camping stove recently? I should bring a few by next time I am around. …food is more fun when it is cooked on the back porch, anyway.

    • Nope, haven’t cooked on a camping stove yet, but I have cooked some ground beef, carrots, and potatoes on the manifold of your car on the way to see the Arrogant Worms in Wisconsin (smile)!
