Coleman Portable Slow Cooker-Propane

I am eyeing the Coleman slow-cooker that runs on propane bottles. Has anyone ever used this thing? It is six-quarts, so it's a good size. I am thinking winter campouts, pot-lucks, outdoor parties, etc. here's a link to it at REI:

I capitulated and ordered it. I will post a review as soon as I have had a chance to use it.

So far, all I have used the slow-cooker for is for keeping soup hot at a recent pot-luck while camping. And it was indeed hot! And that was the low setting - it brought the soup to a boil. Which means 212F degrees minimum. But for slow cooking meat stews or other items, that's a good temperature. So I will try it again for it's intended purpose and report back then. But it sure is nifty!
