    Nice. Do you know what model you have? Amazon has a bunch... I was surprised by the price tag, but they offer spare parts for everything. that's pretty cool.

    One-burner propane stove?

    I'm curious if anyone's ever adapter a propane burner, something like this Insane BTUs (30,000?) and low profile. I'm not planning on frying a turkey but this would certainly cover all my wok needs. Here it is on amazons...

    free standing canopy suggestions?

    Thanks @rayra. For whatever reason we almost always hang out 20-50' away from the vehicles. Otherwise I'd just get a cheap chinese vehicle-mounted awning.

    free standing canopy suggestions?

    I’ve put em up by myself no problem. The problem was how flimsy they were. Any advice for a better option? I don’t want a vehicle awning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    free standing canopy suggestions?

    Howdy ya'll, Any advice for a free standing canopy? Living in pacific northwest, it's gotta be somewhat water resistent (water proof?). Optional walls would be lovely for really bad weather. I've been eyeing e-z up. Any thoughts? Even amazon has AmazonBasics canopy now..

    DIY Discada "Skottle" Cooker $65.00

    Thanks to @krick3tt for inspiration. I used 1/2 conduit, the huge 3/8" nut, and all thread rod. Pretty sturdy. About $20 canadian at home depot for everything. 10' conduit gives you 3'4" legs, sink the nuts into the conduit, cut all thread rod into about 4" chunks. Now I just gotta figure out a...

    DONE! Building a battery box

    Touché! Googled "snap-track" got a lot of model railway tracks.. In any case, the two items I'm curious about is the dc-dc buck converter and the panel meter. Panel meter is going to be surface mount somehow, but the attached shunt needs to be mounted somewhere. Same with the buck converter...

    DONE! Building a battery box

    What I’m asking is, what’s a good way to mount these components inside the box? I have a Dc-dc buck converter, another circuit board, what’s the best way to ensure it’s stationary in the container? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DIY Discada "Skottle" Cooker $65.00

    Nice. Any other ideas how to attach a bolt or all thread to a pipe? Don’t have a welder. Thought about embedding it in some wood but that would be bulky. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DIY Discada "Skottle" Cooker $65.00

    Got it, all thread rod is new for me. Appreciate the explanation. The op didn’t mention any issues with stability and I wonder what makes the skottle stable. One of the desired features in such a system for me is that it doesn’t require a table and is “counter height”... Sent from my iPhone...

    Brilliant. What rods are those? I’m assuming two or more can be combined via a coupler to make the whole assembly taller? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New version of Gaia GPS released

    DIY Discada "Skottle" Cooker $65.00

    But that's not what I want, I want to use it in "skottle mode", thus my "art" in post #56. I guess the easiest way is to try it.

    DIY Discada "Skottle" Cooker $65.00

    I’m trying to improve on the original design where the Coleman burner is suspended by wires. I already have a gas one so I don’t want to buy another burner. Here’s a drawing of what I’m Thinking. Add a little shelf that sits on top of the legs under the griddle and plop gasone on it...
