Thank you! I think I may have to try this next Gulf Wars. Since our 
camp consists of just myself and my wife, we don't create, nor do we 
have the room and time for, a firepit. We do all our cooking on a 
Coleman stove and even that is mainly dishes cooked and then frozen at 
home and then warmed up on the stove. And this would let us have 
biscuits or cinnamon rolls. And I've got one of those non-stick 
butterfly omelet pans here at home. Since I learned to make omelets in 
the SPCA camp at Pennsic, I really haven't been using this pan.

My pan is rather thin, as most of these probably are. So, I was 
concerned about uneven heating on top of the stove or the outsides 
being well cooked and the insides still being doughy. However, your use 
of the diffuser and the very low flame takes care of those concerns.

About how long does it take to cook some biscuits or cinnamon rolls 
this way?
