I'd be trying an over nighter somewhere nearby your home to see if you'll actually manage it.

Re: Anyone for Pancakes? Made on BB AfterBurner stove
I think you'll find drop scones are Scottish.
American pancakes indeed!
I have a very flat frying pan with no edges I quite often take if there are a few people.
Pancakes are always popular as are battered franfurters.

You need more surface area or you need to bury something like a stone or a bit of driftwood and peg right behind it.
