Hi Renee, that's great news and you are certainly going to be kept busy with your new-found friend. Nice to see someone prepared to take it to the outback areas - there are some great cooks out there who would share your enthusiasm. No, I am not game to melt wax in my TMX but I'm sure someone will try it or has already tried it for craft work. I'm more interested in food myself although I do make Bron's dishwashing and laundry goo in it. Good luck with your TMX, sounds like you have already been giving it a good working over.
