^ Yes I like that one too! Right now I have everything in my action packer. Might end up doing something like that over the weekend. Thanks for the idea!

That's brilliant. Even more so that you can switch the dividers when the plastic tote breaks (which they often do.) Unlike most "chuck boxes" yours is light, inexpensive and easy to store.
Great ideas here! Thanks!
Has anyone tried the new All Access Action Packer type boxes? Wondering if they are a good light-weight option. http://www.rubbermaid.com/category/pages/productdetail.aspx?Prod_ID=RP092094

Perso, even if a lot of people like them, I do not like the taper shape ans also the lack of square corners. Harder to be efficient when packing in the tote and also loosing space in the vehicule because of the same "round" corners!
I prefer the sportsman's trunk from Plano at walmart.
But it is just imo.

While I'm impressed with the clever ideas on here for a chuck box, I'm wondering if some of you aren't just trying to reinvent the wheel just so you can reinvent the wheel here. Then again, my kit is only meant to feed 1 or 2 people. 3 if you stretch it and don't mind sharing.
My kit doesn't even have a box. Just a simple gear bag to hold all my kit. Right now, its only set up for 1 person really, but I can easily fit anything else I may need from my kitchen if I need to.
Contents include: 1 carry bag, 1 biolite stove, 1 el-cheapo camp pot kit from wal-mart with bowls, lids and mixing/serving utinsils, 1 stainless steel pan w/ tray, 1 cutting board, 1 butcher knife, 1 cleaver/camp knife (my own design and make), wash clothes, flashlight keychain w/ can opener, 1 set of cutlery (soon to be 2), 1 box strike anywhere matches (green yes, but they work), one tin with packed cotton balls and storm matches, 4 sticks of quick light stick (mini fire logs), 2 dozen paper rolls for biolite stove, magnesium rod and a selection of spices.
I know its not a sophisticated as most, but it gets the job done. I know for a fact that stove works great with those paper rolls. They're made from rolling up pages torn from an old phone book and held closed with masking tape. The small rolls will last about 30 minutes while the largest ones can last over an hour. They're intended to be used when natural fuel is not available.
I will admit, I could use some more eating utensils, but other than that, I can make anything else I need on site. This kit is meant to be thrown into the back of my bronco for overnight camping. I have a small cooler for food storage as well as water sources/storage on my camping rig already. Because its small, its easy to just toss in the truck. I put it together with the intent of cooking right off my tailgate, so no table or support structure needed.
As for cleaning, its a matter of being creative. Boil water in the pot and use that for cleaning. Just make sure everything is rinsed out and dried before being put away.
This is what I would consider a bare minimalist approach to a chuck kit.

Hello Bronco
This is like another tread around here.
I've only been lurking here, but I think this is an other tread were you come, show what you have so people can see, get ideas and evaluate what would work for them. So far, I've been like you on this. But I know I want to come up with something for me that will suit my need. But I want to go the way were I open a box, that I can keep in the back of the jeep, or put on a table that I do not have to empty every thing out of the back to get that last little thing that I was missing to prepare or cook my meal. So an organized box that can be open, used w/o being totaly empty would be something nice for me. But even if I think that some of the chuckbox here are awsome, they are not what I'm looking for. Si yes, I might have to adapt the Wheel for me.
But no good or bad answer here. Just what fits your needs and is good for you.

Here's a few pictures of my camp box that I recently built, made from 1/2" baltic birch with a little cherry trim added. Fits into the back of my trailer.
Holds the normal array of camping supplies, griddle has it's own slot under the stove.
Everything packed up and ready to go.......leaving tomorrow for a shakedown!
Great ideas and builds
I have been following this thread for a while and I am continually impressed with the great ideas and execution.
I thought I would share my kitchen build which has been part of bed storage project I have been doing for about a year.

Those are some very nice setups above.
I use two Sterilite 2102 boxes that fit perfectly into my Cabela's kitchen.
I know this post is over six years old now, but I saw this table in a couple of threads. Idk what the original mark up is on these, but I scored on brand new a few days ago for $45.
