Re: pancakes
Operating logging steamers in the Pacific NW gave me opportunities to try boiler backhead cooking. Cooking in the oil-fired firebox was not an option. I can happily report that a 4 pound salmon foil wrapped with lemon and onion slices takes about 20 miles at slogging Mallet speeds! And the crew behi...
