Welcome from another old-enough-to-have-grandchildren-but-don't crocheter! :P  I'm working on a double layer Simply Soft winter blanket, because crochet is great for trapping warm air while allowing moisture to escape. It works great under a quilt, fleece or comforter when temperatures dip. :D

For anyone into astrophotography, astronomy and/or stargazing, the Geminids meteor shower is coming up soon. The shower will run from Dec 7th to the 17th, with the highest concentration of meteors overnight Dec 13th to 14th. At its peak, this shower produces up to 120 multicolored meteors per...

I like Columbia's Bahama and Tamiami fishing shirts. Both have vents in the back and provide good UV protection. They are pricey, but last a long time. You can sometimes find them super cheap on Amazon, depending on color and size. Being female, I don't mind if they are oversized because I throw...

Yep, that's a Malinois. Awesome dogs, they are an intensely driven working breed.

Is the single burner butane stove you have the type with the cannister below the burner, or beside? If it is beside, the dome will overheat the cannister if it is over it. If it is below, it will work fine.

That's great, Rose! With a little experimenting, you will probably be able to get more browning without scorching the bottom. A little butter or sugar on top might help, too. I love being able to bake on my camp stove, and the dome definitely helps.

Welcome to the forums, trampus! A 5x8 sounds like fun; the enclosed cargo version of a teardrop.

My E350 came with a backup camera mounted in the back bumper, which I thought was great. Took me about 3 seconds to discover that the image was backwards :rolleyes: The visibility is limited due to the location. If I had done it, I would have put it higher up (and, you know, done it right).

Go low and slow with the heat, and make sure the oven or pan isn't right on the burner (needs elevation or the bottom will scorch, hence the diffuser that should have come with it). If using the dutch oven, preheat like you would a regular oven. Watch a couple of the youtube videos to get an...

CONGRATULATIONS!!! :D :D  :D :D Mine is a 2005 ford E-350, extended. My best friend took one look at it and yclept it the 'Road Pig', because it is a bit lifted, too. After a test drive, I had to agree :rolleyes:

On the teardrop front, you might wat to check out the foamie thread, located here: https://vanlivingforum.com/showthread.php?tid=33769 Foamies are super light, and you would be able to design almost everything about it to suit your needs.

I modified my camper shell by installing wire shelving over the slide windows (from the inside). That way, I could leave the doggos in the back with both long windows all the way open and not worry about them squeezing out or some idiot getting bitten. A couple of battery powered fans in the...

^^^^^^^ That's why I suggested window cleaner. No one can say having a bottle of window cleaner in a vehicle is unusual.

If you do a youtube search, there are some good demo vids showing different techniques (in the DO, out of it on a trivet, lid on/ lid off). One guy used it to bake a giant cookie in his DO :P

That's why pepper/ bear spray would be a bad idea inside a vehicle if someone broke in. You would likely blind yourself along with the attacker. A bottle of ammonia (window cleaner) set on stream would be better, but you still might get some on ya.

I have one that says, 'MORE COWBELL', from the Christopher Walken/ Will Ferrel 'Don't Fear the Reaper' sketch.

That is definitely an REO Speedwagon :D The guy needs the steampunk teardrop trailer from the Misc Vehicles thread to go with it!

I posted a pic of the result in the Dutch Oven thread, Food/Cooking forum. :D

Here's an Amazon link: Camp Chef Oven Dome They only show it being used on the big Camp Chef stove, but it works just fine on my standard issue Coleman 2 burner. I use the burner further from the connection, as I don't want the heat on the bare connector.

On my own for T day, but wanted turkey anyway. I stuffed a turkey thigh with onion, garlic, celery, spinach, hash brown potatoes and cheese, wrapped it in bacon (well, sort of) and baked it in a cast iron dutch oven on my camp stove. Yummy stuff!
