I did not see this, did you take a picture?
There's no evidence!

I did not think that a Jimmie Dean sausage warranted photographic evidence 
Plus, I was stunned to see Izzy using his stove for anything other than making coffee. He has a rep to uphold ya know. I do like that stove though, half grill, very cool.

Seriously, the grill worked fantastic and I like the easyness to grill a burger or sausages, or Jimmy Deans. On/off, and very good flame control on both the grill side and the cooktop side. The older Coleman had crappy flame control, one reason I got this one. Has a very useful tray to capture the cooking fat from the meat (so you save that and add it to your butter or coffee in the morning) and cleaning it was quick.

Has anyone tried these? Or are they pinatas for black bears? They look cool, but small and can use a lot of space

Pinatas for black bears LOL
Does anyone know the name for this type of plug? I wanted to buy one or two so that I could come up with different ways to hook up to the battery directly instead of through a 12-volt plug. This one goes to the Edgestar/Whynter fridges...... Mine crapped out three hours in - melted the 12-volt plug at the tip.
lots of good info and ideas in this thread

Yes. IEC 60320 C7 Polarized or C7P.
BTW, if you are looking for a fridge cable they are available on ebay/amazon for $45. I have the original but I also made my own. I bought a C7P off ebay for cheap and a locking cigarette lighter plug and built my own.

I have so much leftover wire and crap - if you want to buy a CZP end that has bare wires on the other or you want to cut it, let me know and I probably have Anderson PowerPoles, connectors, etc.
You probably want 10 AWG (30-40 Amp)?
You can go down to 10AWG on the SB50 style plug . . . I have this in red (bought before I knew the universal color coding) - can make you a good deal on a set You can take the SB50 up to 6 AWG.
Or you can go up to 10 AWG on the PP15/30/45 style connectors:
Have a bunch of these.

Yeah, I had seen a post where someone installed the locking cig lighter plug and receptacle, pretty slick. I think short term I might go that route, but I think I am going to try and hard wire it once I run wire back and such.
I have not tried. I question the durability of the fabric under ratchet strap tension with the load of 2-3 people inside.
It had better be pretty damn tough. I wonder if two or three folks sleeping in this thing would end up all jammed up in the center? I hammock camp some. Finding two suitable trees can sometimes be a challenge. Finding three might be even more of a challenge.
Looks more for young skinny hipsters. My fat ass would drag it to the floor. I am going to try the hammock way, seen you do that enough. Already got a hammock stand from AmazonWarehouse deals, heavily discounted. My experiment was going to be:
1. get some 1/2" plywood on roof rack, assemble hammock stand and put it on the roof. Hope to not do a humptydumpty and swing up there.
2. used the hammock stand inside the tent, sleep off the floor.
Izzy, I have thought hard about fabbing up a couple of drive-on stands that would work like the ENO Roadie stands. It could be done for cheap (ENO wants $200 for theirs). Throw a big tarp over the roof. Add some poles and stakes and you'd have rain coverage as well.
One last thing about hammock camping. ENO and the other manufacturers have all these fancy attachments that they want to sell you for crazy money. Skip them all and buy yourself some mule tape. It costs about $10 / 100 feet through various online sources. We use it by the reel at the telephone company to pull cables through conduit in manholes, etc. It is super strong and lightweight. What I use is rated at 1750lbs! Stronger than any proprietary hammock cords and much cheaper as well. Good stuff. I use it around the house for all kinds of things.

There was an awesome trailer hitch hammock frame at the rally. Folded up small. I'll see if I can find a picture of it.
