Yes, but there were at least two times that I got up to check on the fire,
for various reasons, and it was down quite low and the stock was luke warm.
Others also mentioned their concerns over possible spoilage.

Of course one time I got up because my tent was suddently bright and I
wanted to check to make sure the camp wasn't on fire. :-)

I think a vegan soup pot might solve this. Would beef or chicken broth
be as susceptible to spoilage as soup with chunks of chicken or meat in
it? I think that a vegan soup would be rather bland myself but I'm willing
to be convinced otherwise. Just don't tell me the wierd vegatables that
are in it.

What is this "muffin bread"? In canning jars? How do you get it out of
the jar? With a spoon? Or by breaking the jar?
