Rebecca, I'm not sure of your setup for outdoors, but if you have a covered area for canning, you might want to look for a used 30 inch gas stove, or a used drop in gas burner top.   You would need to change the gas orifices to ones for propane, this may be a lower cost than even a used Camp Chief.  I do know that brand and can say nothing bad regarding their products.

You may also need to make or find something three sided to serve as a screen for the wind, it could blow out or effect the flame ! (don't ask how I know this)

PS, I have also been known to take a "pee" on the compost piles from time to time.

I have also applied said liquid on some of my flowers to add a little extra flavor for Bambi and friends to feed on!!! (doesn't work all that great)

No, No, NO, hobbies are not dead !  I am with the greatest enthusiasm seeking my permaculture hobby, as suggested by one of the Elite members of the Committee from this very site.

If I ever find such, I'll be sure to post all about it.

Thomas, we grew San Marzano and Roma for our sauce making, used the Amish Paste more for canned diced tomatoes.

I wanted to try a variety called Canadian Stuffing, which I think may be the same as an Ox Heart, but never got around to it.  Perhaps next year !

Anne we grew Beef Steaks for the "one slice" maters !

Also kinda liked Black Krim for plain eating ones

Matt, if I could only have one, it would be the Amish Paste, all around winner for me.

What variety/varieties produce the largest tomatoes for you ??  My best all around winner would be Amish Paste and in 2012 I think it was, I had several off the same vine that were over two pounds each.

We saved those seeds and the following seasons were blessed with many large tomatoes, but never again the two pound plus ones.

Jane, a heavy dose of cayenne mixed in with the bird seed will send Mr. Squirrel running, almost as much fun as the lubed pole thingy !

OK, Ok, I just can't help myself.  There is something inside me that makes me want to serve.  Sooooooo I'm willing to eat any and all loafs and rolls that you send my way !!!  

Hope this may be of some small help.  (I'll supply my own butter)


Peace

I picked the first tomato of the season today.  Sat on the deck stairs barefoot and shirtless with salt shaker in hand.  Ate the whole thing letting the juice and seeds run everywhere like the heathen I am.

Not too bad for a rescue plant popping up in one of the spider plants back in January and growing in a 5 gal. bucket !

Peace

Just did the subscribe thingy for you on the tube.  You're only the second one I've done.  I'll do what I can for you!

Peace
