Hi Bob, you could be right, if you had a very bad cook. The enemy would be leaving from the rear instead of coming.

Colin, is that your yard? Looks like some great projects there.
Is that a Bofors gun in the distance in one photo?

Default An Engine Of Mass Destruction?

....could it be an engine of mass destruction....?

Actually Bob it is an engine of MESS destruction.

This configuration here is called a Wiles Junior as it was a field cooker as opposed to the senior that was more BHQ or RHQ. They are a nifty little piece of gear.
