Kitchen Kit/Chuck Box

[yotes65]

Looking to ditch my old camp kitchen table and looking for its replacement. What's everyone using for a prep table and/or suggestions. Looking at this one as of now. http://www.alpsmountaineering.com/alps/products/furniture/tables/guide-table

Here is my current set up:

from the Browning Web site...

My buddy even used his stove on top of it....

I've now organized my camp kitchen around a pair of the smaller Lifetime folding tables (2'x4' models). One is all plastic, the other is the "grilling table" that's half plastic and half wire "mesh" (although I found the openings in the wire too big to use with my grill, so I covered the wire with a thin sheet of galvanized steel that's riveted on).

The Lifetime all-plastic table is actually really hard to beat. Comparing price, size (and volume when folded), and weight, there are actually few tables out there that compete. You can spend 4x-6x as much for a table that weighs more, or 3x as much for one that's lighter but has an inferior leg mechanism and isn't adjustable, etc.

this last camping trip was with friends at a regular campground and the tables were not nasty so just used the camp tables but put my kitchen box out
can see the edge of the IGT is setup with cooking stuff though
used our cooler instead of fridge which I mentioned a bit ago found OK for a few day trip and just wanted to use the cooler again for fun but going back to fridge full time haahhaah good to remember how nice a fridge is
downside to the official camp places with tent pads can't setup our big SP tent ?

still loving our river rafting kitchen box though the thing is working our really nice still doing some tweaking every trip so not %100 dialed in but love the way it works gives us pre prep area and closes quick and is sturdy etc...

Looks to be the same exact table as the alps model.

It is and is sold by the Alps company... at least that was the label on the box when it arrived...

My birch camp box... complements of my FIL. I provided pictures and rough drawings from many of the boxes in this thread and he worked it up.




and one during the process...


My requirements were that it fit a Coleman 425 series stove, and also fit under the Access bed cover on my truck. If I recall, it comes out to 19 1/2" tall over all. I holds a surprising amount of "stuff". I'd like to find some little bins to slide in and out of the cubbies.

Couldn't agree more, I use a fold in half style one that is roughly 30" square when folded and it is a rock solid performer in the outdoors. Its also nice to have around the house for guests and family get togethers. For less than $40 bucks it gets my vote every time. I dig the adjustable leg feature and that you get a nice BIG surface for prep or eating at.

Another vote for the "Plastic Tables".
I do not like the fold up style though.
This is the one I use:

If you've got the room to stow a 48" table, those are definitely more stable than the fold-in-half kind, because of how the legs lock. The F-i-H's have a little rock along the long axis.

@rkruger, I like that box! That might be because it looks a lot like mine.

Very nice!
Similar to mine.
These boxes sure make it a lot nicer when cooking in the field.

Do you guys that run the stoves in the rear under a hatch have any issues with grease build up on the glass/trunk lid? I've also been wondering about the heat build up.

I've got the Adventure Trailers setup on the way for the JK but I would like to know if you guys have had any issues.
