That's what I'm planning to do this weekend! :mrgreen:

That all sounds great to me! One thing I would suggest is to keep track of how much time you use it at which temperature to gauge your fuel consumption. That way, you will have some idea how much fuel to take with you.

I decided to go with this:

For our lounge area. It's only 15 inches in diameter and burns propane, but puts out 60k BTU. Might be nice on those chilly playa nights,,,, if snuggling isn't an option,,,, or enhanced by snuggling,,,, or invites snuggling,,,, or ???

Please darlin'! Do you see what I look like? Beautiful isn't a measure of age or youthfulness, it's a measure of soul. Don't worry about fitting societies stereotypes, start realizing that you are as beautiful and amazing as you want to be. Everything else follows from that.

The food was amazing! I'd never gone before due to misconceptions; it objectifies women, they'd be grumpy (I'd be too if people were staring at my body :roll: ), etc.
They were so sweet. Our girl pulled out a chair and sat right down next to me, complimented me on my shorts, and took our order. It didn't feel like they were nice just for the tips either :D
The couple who took me ordered the 50pc platter, the Mt. Tatertot platter, fried pickles, and fries! Never had fried pickles before, mmmm tasty... I could only eat five wings cause I loaded up on the sides.
I'm gonna take Sweetpea there when she feels up to it.

Awwww Eric..*hughughug* Thanks for the gentle kick in the butt! There's times when I think, "If I knew then what I know now..." And btw! I think you're cute! I like the picture of you with the white cottonball hat! and the rosy cheeks! Not to mention how your beard was coiffed!

We have the same oven (and stove) in camp. DO use your own temp gauge in there. Our fabulous playa chief made a puffed pastry breakfast in there last year that was divine in the dust.

I love reading this thread. Everyone's excitement jumps out of my monitor and into my soul! :D

I went to a few garage sales today and found a great camp stove for $8.00! And it works great! It'll be a great back-up stove. I'll use it fir the extra burners if I'm cooking my heart out! And it has an electronic ignition. I just had to clean it up a bit!

Georgie Boy sent me the autographed picture he promised! Actually, Mister Jellyfish acted as the go between and confidential courier. Many thanks to both of them!

Jelly also delivered the incredibly awesome Georgie Boy t-shirt. I'm wearing it now and will sleep in it tonight, sigh...
