sure , I've worn out several of those ..
or ...used them a lot .

I call it 'propane toast' .
I don't do much bread  these days, and no butter anymore ..
so not a toastaholic these days.
I used to heap avocodo on top of very buttery toast made with wheat berry
bread.
that was yummy all right.

at 4 bucks you can't go very wrong.

recommendations?

I recently started taking insulin, so toast is something I can think about
for the first time in a decade. Of course I want to figure out how to make
it in the Westy. My wife has made it with tongs over a flame (with many
dropped and burned casualties) and on a griddle. I have been looking online
at several types of toasters that might fit the Westy grill.

As it is with many things, the more a stovetop toaster costs, the lower it
is rated by people who have actually bought and used it. The cheapest and
highest rated is this at campmor:

It folds flat, a big Westy plus, and it's cheap enough not to disappoint if
it doesn't work.

This is $4.00. The ones on the marine sites cost ten times that, don't fold
and are rated poorly by users.

Can anyone speak for the item linked above?

A "toast" to camping in the new year,
