Has anyone had any success with the different appliances? We have never
used any. The only extra items we carry with us is  extra Coleman 2
burner stove, a colapsable Coleman oven, and a small propane hibatchi.
I would love to know other things people find handy-

We have received a few recipes- from deserts, to breads, canned food
mixes "road glop". Thanks for the responses and keep the Wesipes coming;
they are great!- Remember to send your address so we can mail you a book
when we are finished!

Peace
