It looks solid. I just wouldn't want to carry around that much propane.

My neighbors fed us pancakes and it was the most wonderful thing in the universe. After 4 days, peanut butter and bagels is borderline torture.

After 4 days, peanut butter and bagels is borderline torture. I was camped with someone at Coachella who was literally making mouth love to a bagel with peanut butter while on acid. It was pretty fucking amazing to watch.

Was your neighbor an older woman with a mohawk trying to pimp 2 daughters in their 20s out?

That's some heavy-duty shit right there, lahey. You can accomplish the same results with a far smaller campstove and mini propane bottles (which you can buy at the on-site store). Smaller campstove means more room for all your other camping gear.

I have a folding oven that sits on a camp stove....I can even do pizza on a stone in it...probably won't at Sasquatch though, unless a few people are really up for it.

It is too cumbersome a project for more than a few people, but it is fun to make a bunch of small fresh pizzas...I have done it at festivals before.

The one I posted is around the same price as most smaller camp stoves and I am a chef so I think I should be able to get a fair amount of use out of it. I will for sure be getting a smaller propane tank, I really don't want to be sleeping in a car when its 80-90+ outside with that big ass propane tank near me. Space really isn't an issue as I will be rocking an astro van this year.
And yes you all can come and eat.

The Astrovan saves the day!
If you're going to get a lot of use out of it, it's probably a good idea to get that big one. Pretty sure the Gyro guys a few years ago were using a very similar one.

mrlahey: I would not worry about the propane tanks in the heat, they are alot more indestructable then one would think. I saw some aftermath photos from a forest fire in N. Calif. that burned up a trailer park. There was a picture of a travel trailer burned to the frame with 2 Intact propane tanks still mounted to the front!! Also being a bit of a cook myself and hoving used the large burner setup, I know you will appreciate it if you have room for it.

While I can't really come up with anything new to post about camping right now, it's all I can think about as I'm sitting here at work.
ONE. MONTH. AWAY.
Several pages back in this thread people were talking about sun shelters blowing away with the strong gusts of wind (regardless of being staked down). Hearing that made me slightly concerned since we're bringing one for the first time this year. There was talk of using bungee cords....anyone with experience care to elaborate on this or other successful methods?

Hurricane-chella taught me that no amount of securing canopies can stand up to mother nature when she's dead-set on blowing them the fuck over.
