I've read through this thread and haven't found much about freezing meat without plastic bags or plastic-coated butcher paper. I live in a rural desert area and try to limit my trips to town to twice a month, so those are grocery stock up days. I've used butcher paper for years, but it's plastic coated and single use. Ziplock bags would be a step forward since they can be reused.  Does anyone have a better solution that will keep frozen meat safely and without freezer burn?

I bought one of these camp toasters below for my gas range. I like it. I know you said no camp toasters but it works well. Prolly wouldn't do on an electric stove.

That camp toaster looks perfect - Now that I see your photo I'm good with camp toasters, just as long as they can be used indoors over a gas range. Thanks!

Does anybody have a non-electric alternative to a toaster that can be used in the kitchen (i.e. not outdoor campfire cooking gear)? Love toast, hate single-use electric appliances!
