"Framerguy... You're an old fart. I still have 3 of those stoves..1-3 burner and 2-2 burner. If you are going to use one much you might want get the CO2 holder that pressurizes the tank...the end of pumping."

Yeah, I lost my 2 burner old fart Coleman when I loaned it out and never got it back! (What are friends for??)

CO2 charger??? Heck, pumping that red tank up is one of my favorite pastimes and it really bulks up my triceps!!

That 3 burner came from a yard sale for 4 bucks!! It is probably 35 years old and still ticks like a Timex! Now my Coleman lantern, that is another story. I am still looking for a complete overhaul kit for that double mantle model I have but it seems like nobody services the O-rings and valves and such anymore. I occasionally find a shutoff valve or a pump valve in a sporting goods store but I need more than that. It seems like every time I go to light the lantern, it ignites about 5 different places and hardly ever on the mantles themselves!!

CJF, recipes, .......... recipes???? We don' need no steenking recipes!!!

OK, you will find that opening the Spam can is probably more complicated than most of the recipes that you will find for preparing it!For my "gourmet" breakfast I simply slice the tenderloin of Spam into wafer thin slices or anything up to an eighth of an inch or so and fry it 'till it squeals real loud!! Let it get good and dried out and around a very dark mahoganycolor and then take it out of the pan and wrap it in a paper towel to get any leftover grease off of it. You can cut it up for omelets or eat it like ham if you prefer fried eggs or roll itand stuff it up your nose for an incredible high!!

When I camp I cook Spam over an open fire with one of those wire clamp together fish grillers (or maybe they are used for toasted sandwiches), whatever, they let the grease drip away from the meat and allow it to get that crisp even finish that can't be created on a stove. And you can flip it back and forth without losing any of that glorious conglomeration of lordonlyknowswhatsortofmeat in the campfire!

I have yet to master Spam in the microwave. For the way I like it, when I use the nuker on it the meat turns really tough and rubbery, a normal characteristic of Spam but not one that I savor for breakfast. It does make good catfish bait when prepared that way though.
