I've used mine to make ham,egg and cheese sandwiches plenty of times, but frying up pizza rolls or heating up garlic cheese bread would probably be the weirdest thing I've made.

Besides cooking my forearm good one time on the Mr. Heater while mistaking it for the armrest on my chair, I'd have to say filletting out a big shiner minnow and frying it in the leftover oil in a sardine can was about the most creative. Beer was involved both times if memory serves correct.

Just thought of 3 more. I've boiled ring 'farmer-style' sausage and ring balogna, as well as reheated German potato salad. I now realize, most of the BEST meals were the ones that were made at home and reheated on the ice...But, the BEST smell, is the smell of fresh baked bisquits in the early morning, out on the ice! Just a good combo, FRESH air and Bisquits! My_key, We may need to share recipes!! We've got B-fast on the ice bagged (franchise maybe??) !! Duckhuntr21, LOL!!! That takes me back..! to a guy I use to hunt with....He'd get 'bored' and shoot blackbirds, pluck 'em and bake 'em on a spit! His nickname was 'COOT', what's that tell ya? BTW, How'd that forearm ever turn out? They usually get REALLY tender if they're 'cooked' long enough. grin Phred52

Shoooooot I dont need no heater/cooker. I bent a wire around the cage on my Buddy heater and I can cook hot dogs, brats, anything you can cook on a stick. I angled it down so the juices drip away, but it still gives off a pleasing aroma when you use it.

You know, I should take the time to make some biscuits in the morning. Would be a nice change. But I think the tin foil I wrap my sandwiches in to reheat later would contain the aroma. Which BTW, eliminates any concerns of cooking on galvanized surfaces. You just have to be careful where you set the hot foil after you get the sandwich heated.

Does anyone have the heater/cooker on sale right now? Or, How much are they normally? I've always used a Buddy heater, but would like something for those days that are below 10F, where the Buddy doesn't keep up. Not to mention the apparent cooking possibilities. smile

We were a lot of bored one day and decided to fry up some waxworms in the bottom half of a mountain dew can. They actually weren't bad once you got them a nice golden brown. Did the same with minnows. Along with soup, brats, and steak.

I can honestly say that I have never been that bored. LOL

I've posted this in the past but I see nobody has mentioned it yet.

Put literally whatever you want in a vacuum bag, seal it and you can reheat it in a boiling pot of water on your heater/cooker.

Right now I have about 8 pre-packaged meals made from left overs that are ready to go. I just take them out of the freezer as I need them for trips.

Currently my next hot lunchs will be chicken alfredo.

Cut the bag open lengthwise and dig in with your fork or spoon. When you're done just put it in your trash bag and rinse off your utinsel in your hot water and put it away.

All done.

Anyone have issues with the heater/cooker when cooking with a 1lb tank? my cooker would start shooting flames if i had it any higher than low. I had a pan with some water for brats and the flame was green, then the grate was glowing red and starting to bend.. Maybe its a better idea to just use the hemostat like stated before...

Omelettes in a bag are great, easy too - bring up a large pot of lake water out of your hole to a boil (or as large a pot as you can handle safely). In the meantime, take a large ziplock bag, throw in a couple eggs, onions, bacon, sausage, cheese, and whatever you'd like in the omelette. Mash it up with your hands once the bag is sealed (get most of the air out). Place the bag into the boiling water and wait for a few minutes. Presto! Omelette. Eat it straight out of the bag with a fork, or if you're really good, you'll figure out how to make the omelette form into a handheld burrito-type shape. Return the water to the lake once cooled.

WAIT.... those things can be used to COOK???? confusedeek Heck, I always thought that the Heater/Cooker thing was a marketing gimmick...never even tried to cook on it. wink

Seriously, there are some creative ideas on here. I like the omlette in a bag idea. I've pretty much used mine to boil venison brats, coffee, and heat the occasional can of soup. But maybe I'll have to get creative this year and try using it for more than just heat.... eating cold sammiches gets boring after a while, you know?

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
