There are more ways to heat a DO than just coals. I have an older version of the stove ACA has on their site, Digging a shallow hole under the pot (with legs) I can get the burners fully under the pot. If making stews and such not alot of top heat is needed. Sure the coals would be traditional and defenatly taste better but you have to go with what you got.

As stated I'mm be using the #6 Camp DO from Lodge on several overnights as we train for larger trips. I figure that will be a good testing ground for my kitchen idea...

Plus if a group of people get together for a ride and would be willing to distribute some gear than I can see a "Crank-Waggon" being rather handy (Ya ok that was a random thought that sounded to fun to pass up on )
