what is your camping cook set up?
 

i love cooking while camping.

scrambled eggs cooked with salsa and stale corn tortillas..whatever.it's all good! something about being cold, sitting next to a fire..adult beverage of choice..

and Pat McManus once wisely said, "Poking at a campfire with a stick is one of life’s
 great satisfactions.”

i have a 15+ day camping trip coming up in Northern New Mexico. the first half of September. i am gonna be the camp cook!! my brother and i will stay the 15+ days, but we have guys coming and going as their time permits. hopefully bringing fresh food ingredients.

i am gonna fine tune my outdoor cooking..i just ordered a plow disc pan..a Mexican Disceda. or Deesco. whatever they call it. this is gonna be fun!!

what is your camp kitchen looking like?

a pic here for my own inspiration!!

RV has a gas stove, microwave, minifridge, and whatever pots/pans/utensils I remember to stuff inside it.

Same as above.
But sometimes I like to cook over a fire of juniper. So I have a 55 gallon drum cut the top off and peppered the bottom with 5.56

I use a Camp Chef Explorer 2 burner stove with a griddle....

Others seem to like the Blackstone griddle...

I like the Camp chef because you can use it as a 2 burner, throw on the griddle or use a BBQ box or pizza oven. Lots of accessories you can buy.

I don't like using the stove in the trailer, rather keep the cooking odors outdoors.

Look in to a Mojoe Griddle (Mojoe Outfitters) - they're a bit unwieldy to transport, but are awesome for cooking.

Also have one of these that I use as my outdoor kitchen/dining....

Wife just got a new 8.5 qt dutch oven for making fire/coal peach cobbler. We tend to make most of our meals over the open fire, even though we have a highly appointed 2011 Heartland 32' RV with all the amenities.

I cook a mean fire simmered chili, and char broil steaks, or seasoned chicken thighs, and when bored do the pie iron pizzas/pies/sandwiches.

Something we tried last year that we will do again this year is a foil pack cajun shimp boil with sausage, potatoes, onions, and any other items you want included.

We will be camping over a 3 day Mother's day weekend coming up, a week in June, a week in July, and probably several times in Sep/Oct this year.

I'm old skool. If I'm camping it just doesn't seem right to show up with the kitchen stove.

I use either my Lodge hibachi or just an open fire. I saved a cast iron grate from an old barbeque that I use with an open fire. I build a little rock stand in the fire and place the grate on the rocks.

i had no idea Lodge made a hibachi. that is a a cool idea!!

i also do that balance a grate over a fire thing..it is crazy how much food i lose on the crappy rock balance i do..i need bricks.

I just go to the hotel dining room. My idea of camping is a hotel with slow wi-fi or no cable TV.

Mine is similar. Usually camping for me involves going away from people... so I travel light. With lightweight cooking set I can still cook full meals... Bacon is a essential for any camping breakfast... I have a lemon chicken recipe that is always a favorite for dinner.

Pie Irons.
Bring several in various sizes.
You can make pretty much anything in good seasoned cast iron pie iron and it's got a lot of hidden benefits.

Cleaning is easy, rinse it and dry.
The food you make in a pie iron is generally eaten by hand, so no additional dishes or utensils.
Each half can double as a single serving cast iron pan.

Roast a pork butt before you leave. Allow the rendered fat to congeal and spoon into a small Mason-type jar. Use the rendered pork fat to grease your pie irons. Best sandwiches ever.

wow!! pie irons!! new thing for me.

I thought I was living large with pancake mix and jerky :) Bacon sound great. I've done that with car camping, just worry it might attract every bear or varmint in 10 miles.

ahem..the best way to scare bears away is to have a bear-tag. you'll never ever see one.

don't forget the copious amounts of alcohol.
