A few days ago after visiting with a close cousin from the Traer, Iowa area I learned something interesting that I had not heard of before. Yes, you can always teach an old dog a new trick or two.
In visiting she mentioned that her son had prepared recently what is called "Creamer Can Cooking." Say that again. He put in a few hams, sausage(lots of it) sweet corn with the shucks on, and lots of potatoes and veggies of all kinds. Add two or three gallons of water and then put the lid on. He has a heavy in ground grate like you would find in a park. He puts the creamer on top and cooks it over the open fire. Within an hour and a half you have some great eating for 30 people or so. (Salads and desserts are in addition.)
Of course, I googled up and found lots of information, recipes, and the like. It's the mid-west's answer to a fish boil. Same principle! Just had not heard of it. If anybody out there does this let the rest of us know. Also, the date and time when we can join you!
