Stumptacos Home-made Camp Kitchen

[aslostasyou]

Ha! Too funny! Glad we can coolaborate ideas! I have no intentions of making millions selling camp kitchens but I think it would be a cool segway into a new company. My old man is looking for something to do and Snowpeak could use some US competition!

My better half and I spent the weekend going over some cool ideas similar to what Snowpeak does but with American flare. She has a fine arts degree and sees things much differently than I... Who knows, at the least we'll make some cool stuff for ourselves and get to use our minds.

I love the legs! I was thinking something similar. If you've ever seen those Ikea tables that the legs are made of solid .25" steel that fold out...something similar to that. Not sure if it would stand to the rigors yet but it keeps the profile down.

I actually started another official thread for my build so I won't stealing realestate from you any more. Tell you what though, I look forward to a time when we can setup camp side by side and share some brews! :friday:

My hats off to you for inspiring me to get off my ******** and do something. Who knows where it'll end up!

Have you taken this thing out and used it yet? I'm LOVING the concept, but having the unit rest on the leg assemblies while in the rig would be a concern for me. If it's a valid concern, it could easily be overcome by building a small skirt around the base of the unit so that it rest on the skirt as opposed to the leg assemblies.

And any issue with the heat of the grill that close to all that wood??

Big Dave, I have a drifta 200 and use a Partner steel 2 burner stove (10000 btu/ burner) and have had no problems with the wood. Both are great pieces of equipment.

Thanks for the info! Do the legs on yours stick down or are they protected a bit?

Thanks guys! I have used it several times now, and it works absolutely wonderful. There is no trouble what so ever with allowing it to rest on the legs, in fact, it helps to slide the kitchen in and out instead of just resting on the wood. The legs are very well built, and worth every penny I spent on them. I also have not noticed any problems with heat around the wood. the grill has sufficient gaurds, and is far enough away that there has been no issue.

Here are a few shot of it from my last trip to France.

Willman... whats for dinner you ask?


How about some Herb Crusted Chicken, Cous-Cous, Asian Salad and buttered frnch bagguette?

Maybe some Jack Daniels marinated sirloin tips with grilled onions, Garden vegetable yellow rice (courtesy of Uncle Ben), and bread?

A man has gotta eat breakfast too!

Mushroom, ham, onion and cheese omlet, with a little OJ?

Of course, this was one of those hearty meals that you eat before climbing to the top of your favorite mountain peak to ensure plenty of protein and carbs for the journey... (not that I have ever climbed any mountains, but just thinking about it made me glad I ate all of this... )

Bacon, Scrambled eggs with ham, pancakes w/butter and syrup, and toast.
