Good point. It's what I did at that first event. I made one meal at  
home and brought it, refrigerated but not frozen, to heat over the  
fire starting right when I got there. The second meal, I prepped at  
home and froze, then stuck in the cooking pot over the lower heat, to  
reheat and gently cook over Shabbat. It worked out pretty well. I  
guess I can keep doing that.

Shabbat shalom, Shoshana Simcha!
