    Best grill gloves

    Lol, innovative! I actually pack a pair of long tongs and a poker from Snow Peak (because I'm a Pyro and like to play with the fire). The gloves will be more for emergency issues....like if my grill starts on fire. I want to be able to quickly pick it up and throw it in the creek or something...

    Best grill gloves

    I've been using the "Ove-Glove" for a couple of seasons now and have lost one. I'm in the market for a new pair. One thing I didn't like about the cloth Ove-Glove is that if you spill bacon grease or boiling water on the glove it goes right through the weave and burns the holy hell out of you...

    Small chimney start for charcoal

    Wow, that's considerably smaller than the Uniflame (which is about 11 x 7.5 x 1.5). Considerably cheaper too. Maybe I'll try the camp maid one first....thanks!

    Small chimney start for charcoal

    Not sure. I checked it out and can't seem to find any specs for when it's folded. I had a model that it similar and found that after it had warped from use the hinges that "fully reverse" when folding are really difficult to deal with (does that make sense? Hard to explain). The triangular...

    Hi, I was using 1 lbs. standard propane bottles with two of these adapters. It worked, but wasn't quite right. The SP burners were always too hot....I think there is more pressure in standard propane bottles than butane bottles. The adapters linked above do have a small regulator screw to reduce...

    Post your tents

    How do you like that Stealth? I’m interested in it, but nervous of the listed weight.

    The best adventure travel boots.

    The Tor is famous for being the "widest" Hoka. Do you think that the Kaha offers the same width? If it's narrower (than the same size in Tor) then it won't work for me.

    Cool. How steady (and accurate) was the temperature on the built-in guage? You should cut a little hole out so you can read the guage while the front flap is down.

    The best adventure travel boots.

    I'm not sure if you'd really call these a boot...but they are the only shoe I've worn for years (since they were released). I gained 50 lbs. in the last 10 years and my feet were hurting all the time. Tried a handful of $200.00+ shoes for hiking and daily wear. Nothing worked. I have very wide...

    Organizing roof rack. RTT in the front or the back.

    I agree with the above. For drivability it's important to keep the weight even front-to-back. If you put the RTT in the front I would think it would aid aerodynamics for other non-aerodynamic gear if that gear is behind the RTT. Be sure to consider any additional weight that you are putting at...

    Taking care of james baroud roof top tent

    Here is a question in the spirit of the Ops' question. I haven't washed or waxed my black Baroud in three years and can tell my looking at it that it needs some attention. It's getting some small spider cracks in the gel coat. What is the easiest way to remedy that? I know nothing about boats...

    Costco has a RTT

    You know...given how popular this overlanding thing has become, if more than one or two companies begin to truly mass produce RTTs with desired features, consistent quality, consistent availability, competitive pricing, and big box store retail locations... The big boys are going to be in trouble.

    I played around with the new Kanz config today. Dreadlocks gave me a tip about firing the charcoal on the propane side and it worked. I used the Snow Peak grill mesh to play around with it. This is where I plan to put the grill. It worked too, but the bottom got a little warm on the plywood...

    Small chimney start for charcoal

    I gave it a try today using my grill from the SP grill and it worked. But, it got a little too hot and warped the grill mesh. I think I'll try the Uniflame next to see if it's a good piece of kit since the measurements given appear to be slightly smaller than the inside of my grill. All I...

    Is that a temperature sensor with remote I see in the parts pile?

    Is my Jeep too heavy?

    Agreed here, but different strokes for all them folks! ;) I have a fairly built Jeep (for camping...not crawling) and an off road trailer. When it's just the Jeep if I can get in, I'm pretty sure I'll get out. When pulling the trailer I'm much less confident. I once encountered a rock slide 1 or...

    Cool. What are the little widgets that are holding the insulation together?

    Small chimney start for charcoal

    That is a very, very, very good idea. I'll have my sheet-metal working buddy cut me some heavy gage stainless screen, brake up a 1-inch high wall around the edges and make sure it's sized to store in the bottom of the grill. Then I can place the screen on the Partner and fire it up. Will make...

    Small chimney start for charcoal

    Naw, I'm not a metal-worker. I found one from Uniflame, but I'll have to order it from AU. Not sure what the shipping cost will be...and it's a bit expensive. It does look like it's well made and might fold up better than the el-cheapo that I bought before.

    Small chimney start for charcoal

    I'm looking for a small, foldable, quality charcoal chimney for a Snow Peak Single BBQ Box. In my experience it only needs 10 - 14 briquettes to fill it up. The inexpensive chimney I bought from Amazon is very hard to fold/unfold due to warping. It needs to be small enough to fit inside the SP...
