LOL. I'm showing this post to the Wife.Cooking on the stove top is a great idea. We did it in power outages for a while years ago. Until that time we had to smell that burned stew for a week after it boiled over and we had to keep the stove hot for heat.
Now we cook in outages with a propane camp stove and let the wood stove do its job. Heat the joint.
Hey, fossil, are you actually from Bend or Fossil? I love that whole country. Spent a lot of time all over there, mostly down around Lakeview, though, with family. Dug up a lot of fossils at the football field in Fossil. Great area.Sadly, Click & Clack are going to retire, and Car Talk (as we've always known it) will be no more.

I just listened to this week's cartalk from the website. As good and funny as ever. Could have been from 25 years ago.
