The ultimate kit....
I built my box out of an old school house book shelf....a must have for a box is room for the stove, pots,forks/spoons/knives,can food, plates and bowls, flashlights,matches, fuel,spices,dish soap, spare mantels for lanterns, spare batteries, Multi-tool, cooking utensils, paper towels, popcorn, small bottle cooking oil, coffee cups,etc. I can grab this box and go camping...it has it all except for the beer! :costumed-smiley-007the handles need to be replaced - not strong enough....
because I used a book shelf it is a little narrow..notice I had to modify my stove......
lots more pics!!!!

I designed and made this camp box this winter. cant wait to use it.
it is the size of my ARB fridge
when the legs are folded down the top is 33 inchs off the ground.
The sides fold up and the back folds down for counter space
When I take the stove out and put it on top it is 37 inches tall.
under the stove are two square bread pans for more storage

This is Awesome!
That is one amazing chuck box. Great job on the design and execution. I'm guessing you've done some woodworking before, no?
Great job figuring out how to keep it both compact and rugged and yet with all those folding parts it's super-functional. I think I'm most impressed by the fold down legs-genius! and the bread pans under the stove for extra storage is brilliant. I'm just really impressed. Can ya tell?
Are you going to put a finish on it or leave it natural?

Designing a Field Kitchen is fun
Hi,
my name is Harald Kanz and I am new to this fantastic blog.
.
I have spend many years traveling with a Field Kitchen in the back of my vehicle. This gave me the flexibility to stop anywhere and have a cup of coffee or a simple meal whenever I want. I have been working on improving the design over the years.
.
The idea is to have easy and fast access to the kitchen while on the road and to convert it to a free standing unit by putting it on its legs when you have arrived.
.
Here you can see one of the proto types with dual fuel stove.
.
One of the beautiful things about such a setup is that you can place the kitchen at the nicest spot and enjoy the best view while doing the cooking. This has always been very rewarding for me.
.
Passionate about good outdoor product design, I have founded KANZ Outdoors. Our first products were introduced at the Overland Expo 2010 and are available via our website www.kanzoutdoors.com and soon with selected speciality dealers.
.
So Thank you for your attention.

It doesn't look like the lid on the Field Pantry opens up?

Hi, Thanks.
The Field Pantry is designed as a food storage container. The interior layout is different from the Field Kitchen. It is designed to fit typical staple food items and has a larger drawer to compliment most available spices container. Although the outside dimensions are identical with the Field Kitchen, its top cannot be opened. The reason for this is the gained stability which is necessary to survive the bear safety test (USDA), which it currently undergoes. The Field Kitchen does not need to be bear proof because it is not a food storage container.
Both together make nice system setups.
