[Sca-cooks] Baking bread at Pennsic [was OOP: Coleman oven]

[George & Lynn Dimock]

We plan on baking at Pennsic

Our encampment has a little home-made stove  that we surround with cinder
block for heat retention.  It works pretty well.  Last year it supplied the
encampment with all of its bread, pizza, and most of its pastry.  We plan to
do the same this year.   I understand that we will be baking main dishes in
it as well.  I know that the menu calls for lasagna one evening and beef
brisket another.  Fortunately we are only feeding fifty to sixty, so it
shouldn't be a strain.

This is in addition to my experiments with Egyptian bread baking pots.
