review the year, things learned, and stuff

Pie iron/waffle iron, never knew they existed, but now it's a must have in my mind.

My tykes eat waffles everyday and missed their breakfast so much on our trip to pickup our trailer, I ended up making it for breakfast and lunch when we got back, they just couldn't get enough.

Great thread! Thanks!

I grew up camping with pie irons. If you have kids, you may want more then one. Very nice addition to dogs and marshmallows for camp fire food. We used them for grilled cheese sandwiches mostly.

mimi just make sure the kids are safe,,, your talking about a hunk of cast iron heated over a fire.

the waffles cooked over a campfire are awsome. of course you can use a coleman stove too. i usually use some matchlight charcoal to have a little pretend campfire, with a few sticks in it for flames for my grand daughters.

in addition,,, they have hot dog irons, cornbread irons,,,all sorts of them.
rome is one brand that makes great stuff for campfire cooking.

Thanks for the reminder John- safety first is our mantra. I like to idea of the pretend campfire though and will borrow that. I'm gonna have to checkout those Rome irons-- we have to get a waffle iron, though it sounds like I'm gonna want a whole assortment and at 4lbs each my ultralight egg is going pack on some lbs!

Ain' t that the truth. Can't wait to try some of them !
I already saved a few...I might try some over (or in ) my brother's home slow burning stove

I learned to tighten the lug nuts on an aluminum rim, very tight.

For your information, I found my pie iron in an unlikely spot; the Eddie Bauer outlet store (Novato, CA). It is very sturdy and is made of cast iron. At 1/2 off it was only $8. I can't guarantee that you'll find one there, but it is worth looking.
