WOW! I'm getting so many responses so fast I can't even respond to them
all!!!!

Thanks Everyone!!!

I'm not sure if the place we're staying at allows us to have a camp-
fire. I realize that adds a whole new deminsion to what I can cook, but
simply stated that I only have a tiny propane grill to simplify
things...

Thanks again for all the great advice!

You guys rock! none of the other cooking sites I've posted this to have
given me a single response yet. This is sooo cool! you guys have offered
me some amazing ideas! Please keep them coming!
