Is the pie maker available at Bass Pro? Or do I need to order on internet?

Here is the recipe for that pumpkin using an oven, we just set the pumpkin directly on coals and follow the pricl test mentioned.

Stuffed Pumpkin

1 pumpkin - roughly the size of a basketball.
1 medium onion, chopped.
2 c. rice (I use wild rice), cooked.
1/2 lb. loose sausage
1/2 lb. ground beef/buffalo/venison/what have you
bread crumbs
about three eggs
salt, pepper, seasoning to taste (I like sage, fennel, garlic, onion, red pepper and celery seed)

Clean the pumpkin like you would for a jack o'lantern. Keep the lid. Mix all the above meats together like you would for a meatloaf, except you...don't shape it into a loaf. Instead stuff the pumpkin with the mixture. Leave about an inch on the top to let it expand a little with cooking. Replace the lid. Place the pumpkin in a baking dish with about an inch of water in the bottom. Bake at 375 till you can easily poke a fork into the pumpkin (and it actually lets go). Remove from oven and let it cool about 20 minutes before serving. Remove lid. Serve in slices with butter, some like brown gravy with theirs.

Ok we have a Gander store near me. Well about an hour away, but I go there all the time. Thanks for answering that.

That pumpkin recipe sounds wonderful. My friend has a fire pit, that we use often for just sitting around drinking beer and having fun, bet we could put it in that for a dinner. Cooking while we visit and have fun having a few beers. Excellent, going to share this with them!

Awesome photos shadows!! Brings back childhood memories. My dad used to cook outdoors all the time. He made some awesome feasts. Sadly he is long passed (1982) and he never jotted down his recipes.

Love the pics Shadows. Unfortunately we don't cook that way. Haven't been camping for a while.
