Dennis’ Gift…..

I had to share what we bought Dennis for his Christmas gift this year.  It is something he has been looking at and thinking about getting for a long time………

It is a  Camp-Chef two burner camp stove!

You may not be too impressed but if you are a camper who likes to cook for their family, like Dennis does, this is the ultimate.  It has a griddle that fits over the top to get all the cooking done but also can use the burners to cook with pans…like the big pot of corn on the cob that I am dreaming about right now.  Ooops back to reality—still cold and wet outside—not camping season yet.

Most of all the men in the family that we camp with already has one.  We have always cooked inside the trailer and had just a small propane BBQ grill for outside grilling.  I can guarantee this stove will get a lot of use!  When we all get together for the annual family reunion all the men cook our great Sunday morning breakfast on these stoves.

This is a picture taken a couple years ago at our family reunion.  As you can see there is some serious cooking going on…and everyone has their Camp-Chef stove…..and now Dennis will have his very own stove to use at this years reunion.

Last year when we were camping at the family reunion.  Logen was sitting around with his cousins (they are all around the same age as Logen) explaining that some day it will be their turn to take over the family cooking like their dads do today and like the older generation did before them.  I thought it was great that Logen has the foresight to look toward the future to keep the reunions going but also how the change of time will pass responsibilities down to him and his cousins.   His grandfather, Don, would be proud.  I know our family reunion is Logen’s highlight of the year and I believe it was his grandfathers too.

Since camping season is a few months off, hopefully we will have an early spring and maybe we can try out this stove on our patio with a family get-together brunch…Hey, a girl, can keep hoping for nice weather, right?

With Love,

Tina
