I wasn’t for sure what it was, but I knew I needed it. I also knew he wasn’t going to sell $450 worth of popcorn to earn it, so I bought it on Amazon to try out. At our last camping trip to Lake Louisa State Park, we got chance to use our new camping gadget. It was fun, but a little tricky. Wolf’em What is a Wolf’em? A Wolf’em is basically a cooked biscuit cup…
