I didn't dare try it with the coal stove we had, as the fire ran too hot. <br /><br />When we were kids, we'd make a small fire, put the potoates in (usually wrapped in foil) and would go sledding or skating for a bit. We'd take turns feeding or stoking the fire, and when we were done with the skating or sledding, we'd all have potatoes to eat. They were most scrumptious.megan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-63454912331354416872012-12-23T05:09:41.415+00:002012-12-23T05:09:41.415+00:00A t'other end of the Earth we still like our s...A t'other end of the Earth we still like our spuds for Christmas dinner.
