Hey fpoole,
I just perused thru your photo album .. My girfriend and I were really impressed with your " Galley Set-Up " !

I can see your a bit of a " Chef " !! :thumbsup:

I do a little cooking myself; " Amature , BBQ Chef " with my " Big Green Egg ".

I'm considering getting a smaller version to lug around with my Raindrop !!

Cooking is fun in the Drops...
When Flambe' ing stuff... note to self, remember the hatch is curved and the Flambe' Flame follows the curve... right to the eyebrows... heheh

It's a kick. doing the Barbeque is next on the list... have to get my technique back.. been a long time, but fun...

Hey fpoole ...

Well,.... your not completely safe doing the " BBQ " !
I was trying my hand at a little " Slow Smoking Meats " with my " Large Green Egg ", and managed to singe all of the hair off my " Arms & Eyebrows "

Toooo much " BEER " that day :shock:

p.s. : Lots of other useful " BBQ " info on the " Nakedwiz " website !!

How long are they estimating to completion?

Looks like you'll have it by fall?

I enjoy fly fishing the Eastern Sierra, too. We usually head up there towards the end of season in early October (Columbus Day weekend). Might be a good chance for a teardrop gathering when the weather is cooler and the crowds are thin! Have fun with your new teardrop...hope you get camping soon!

Hey.. I haven't been able to hit any of the local lakes or get up to the " Sierra's " this year , for one reason or another ??

I also really need to renew my membership, and get back into my favorite hobbies " Camping & Fishing "!!

Okay All.. I was seriously considering getting a " Solar Panel or Generator " .

After a few " e-mails " discussions with " Cary " at Camp-Inn, I decided to purchase the " Yamaha Conversion " from " U.S. Carburetion Inc. "
http://www.yamaha-propane-natural-gas-g ... 2000is.htm

Cary, kindly agreed to " Inspect / Prep / Adjust " to make sure it was working properly.

Just an Additional " FYI ":
I've read several threads over on the " Airstream Forum " concerning the problems encountered with trying to figure out how to properly adjust the " Converted Units ", on both the " YAMAHA & HONDA's

Here's a photo of a " Yamaha Generator/Inverter " thats been " Converted " to use " Propane or Gasoline " (Dual Fuel ).

If anyone is interested ?
You should contact " Camp-Inn " for additional advice !
They might be working on other " Options " to consider :thinking:
