Looking for a propane powered crock pot.
I have the Coleman one. Originally they called it a slow cooker, then it appears they changed the name to 6 quart potable propane cooker because it cooked way too hot to be a slow cooker. Then it ap...

We'll, it looks like I'll give the thermal cooker a try. It won't do exactly what I want, but it's as close as I can get.
It appears what I'll have to do is put the meal together mid morning (like I'd do if using a crock pot) put it on the camp stove, bring it up to temperature and then cook it for a while on the stove. The reason I say cook it for a while before putting in the outer pot is because (according to Amazon info anyways) it will only continue to to say warm enough to help the cooking process for 6 hours - that's two hours short on an 8 hour crock pot recipe.
Also, I'll be doing this in the late fall when the temps will be around 30 - 40*F, so the pot is going to cool off quicker than it would sitting in "room" temperatures.
One thing we did on my large green Stanley thermos, was the DW make a holder for it out of 1" thick foam rubber covered with nylon. This kept the thermos a lot warmer on the back of the snowmachine. If I'm a good boy, maybe I can get her to do the same thing for the Thermal pot.
and if the food is quite done enough when I get back to camp, I can throw it on the stove to finish while I'm getting out of my dirty clothes, starting a fire, getting the lanterns going, etc.
If anyone wants to pass on a couple of recipes for the Thermal cooker, you can either PM them to me or send them to my email address.
I'd like to learn to cook in a dutch oven, but I don't think the wood coals or charcoal will stay hot enough for all day and I don't really like to leave the fire going while no one is in camp. I'll be out of camp from usually noon to 7:30 or 8:00 PM, getting back just after dark.
Thanks,
