I think it would be so cool if we could start a camp cook book. We like to cook and eat well at home and try to carry this over in our camping experiences .We keep our meals simple and good out camping. So many good meals can be made with a minimum of good ingredients that are easy to carry and store well in the camper without exotic storage.One doesn't have to eat out of a can while out camping or spend all your time slaving over the stove to prepare very good food. Hope we can share our favorite recipes.

Good eating Frank

Comes in handy when you want to reheat food from the previous day on long travels..

Comes in handy when you want to reheat food from the previous day on long travels.

Or you could save the need for a several hundred dollar device and a solar panel and do it the proper way - wrap it in foil and put it on the fire.

Or another option is one of these: Coleman Oven

I just got one and so far the jury is out. I burned my first batch of brownies, did ok on the second, and not bad on the cookies. Controling the heat and getting a proper temp reading are the difficult parts. Looking forward to having fresh baked corn bread with my chili during winter camping.

Funny, that's what I was thinking too.

Is manifold grease anything like bacon grease? Once when I was topping off my engine oil, I dripped a little bit of 10W-30 on the valve cover, and a few drops made it onto the exhaust manifold. That's not a pleasant smell to endure for 5 miles, but burning bacon grease might make the miles go by as if you were in a breakfast dream, kind of like "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" meets Jimmy Dean.

Wonder how that would work in bear country
