Why didn't my bacon cook?

[Bumpinthenight]

We went camping the other weekend and on the Sunday I tried to cook bacon and sausages. After about 3 hours (slight exaggeration!) my sausages cooked but the bacon just wouldn't do anything.

Set up: double burner which is currently running on propane. Frying pan. Bacon. Oil (one cal sunflower oil).

Is it the stove, the gas, the bacon, the oil? Mumsnetters please let me have crispy bacon this weekend!

did you cook the bacon on the edge of the pan so it didnt get full heat?Also it could have been cooked but not crispy if you are cooking on a low heat so that your sausages cook through rather than frazzle. Crispy bacon needs quick high temperature..I think!
If not I dont know!

I did the sausages first then put them on a plate ready for the bacon to join them. Only the sausages got cold before the bacon did anything! Bacon lay across the frying pan and by the end the valve was fully open.

Morrison's breakfast or cereal this weekend!!

Its a mystery and Morrissons breakfasts are very cheap and nice!
