I love these old things, the sounds they put out at nite, well, it's just another facet that makes camping so great.
I have one of these as well and enjoy using it when cooking and eating the evening meal. I agree with your view on what they bring to the camping experience. I grew up camping with these back in the 60s and 70s; so, the ambience they contribute to evokes a certain nostalgia; kinda like comfort food.
