Looks like this is sold in America. Would like to know if its any good. I bought the OzPig (Australia) but it has a chimney

Chris Croker?

She is enough to make you want to commit suicide. Imagine being stuck with her in your bunker. You would definitely have to eat her first.

I wouldn’t, it might be infectious. Blaaaa Just threw up in my mouth a little.

That crisis cooker would be a handy addition. I’ve got a wood stove and gas stove (not portable) and a grill for open fire places, but that little stove could probably be used in situations requiring a little more sneak. Can you let me know if you find one in Australia? Could we make one? Doesn’t look too hard to make and it doesn’t have to be exactly the same.

ide like to cook that bastard in a chriscooker

Ummm...if I'm not mistaken I believe "she" is actually a "he".........

sounds neat but i bet it is for outside use only, there was a vietnamese couple that killed themselves using something like that after the last ice storm took almost everyones power out around here cause they used it to try and warm up the house and cook. so if it is an outside only thing??? then just scratch up some fresh dirt throw a couple logs(stick what ever on) fire them up and your in buisness, got to move out piss on it and scratch another at the next sight.

I have cooked with propane for years, as long as you have the right jet settings and there is not yellow flame then you can use this cooker with propane only in doors. It will be no different then a propane heater, with the exception of your cooking. But any old working 3 burner stove out of an old camper will work great for that. I have one now we hook up when the power goes out. This is often here in the sooner state.

I got a Crisis Cooker years ago The Supermarket was giving them away for free, imgaine that!

@greekie

dont know whether it will work or not but I like Greekies better as it is freeware

greekies is the way to go. -----------if your in the book the road

propane devices ok, here is some advise to the young ones ect. read the directions and safety warnings reallly read it- we just had a father and son suffocate using a propane heater in a tent -- so if you cna't use it inside then don't.

Thanx everyone for the sound advice. Looks like this cooker is only good for outside use so I would be better going for the ozpig. http://www.ozpig.com.au/

I was thinking that propane will be in short supply later on so wood may be the way to go.

A very interesting thread thanks. I guess we should have on hand a couple of different ways of cooking.
I'm investing in solar. But what if there's no sun!
