Acherly, BZ, runty chickin in a bucket is one of our faves.  Keep them
runties cold then use an 8" Camp Dutch Oven to do the deed.  Outside the van
of course.  Onions, lemons, carrots, and such inside after you take out all
the questionable bits.  Briquettes on top for a brown breasted bird or baste
with 20-50 ^H^H^H or Kitchen Bouquet.  A snippet of fine applewood bacon on
each breast makes an appetizing presentation.

We have used a Pyromid oven and a square Woody Dutch Oven to get the same
result.

Serve with tortillas properly prepared on the Vanagon Tortilla Warmer that
masquerades as a stove top spill preventer.

Pensionerd.
