Just wanted to give an update on the procat by coleman. The heater is much larger than I imagined. The fan kicks the heat out and the heater gets hot enough to toast bread nicely. If you fork the bread it will toast and the edge will get hard enough so you can rotate the bread and get an even toasting. I toasted with the fan off no butter please. Not sure how well it would work with the fan on. Thicker bread would work better. Wonderbread would not work so well. A bit of information on the bacon. If you use a coleman stove or the stove in the vanagon you may use skillets that are slightly undersized for a full strip of uncooked bacon. These means the bacon is hard to cook evenly. If you remove the bacon from the freezer and cut about one fifth of the bacon off, you will have bacon strips that will fit perfectly into the undersized skillets, cook evenly into crisp strips and have 20% less fat. Oh yeah, you can use the left over one fifth strip for the shrimp skewers. I am guessing I won't be getting Martha's job. eh gary __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
