What about when you have to carry that thing for miles, milalopez?

Ugh, that's the worst timing! My old one died right before a holiday dinner, same thing, just went cold. I had a cheap store brand one that lasted maybe three years before the knob broke off. My mom has this ugly brown one from the 90s that still works perfectly, so I guess they just don't make them like that anymore. I ended up getting a basic new one at a discount store and I'm just hoping it holds up.
