When camping... grill? Stove ? Or combo?

[kolelt]

When you are off roading. And get hungry. What do you have ? Grill? Stove or combo ?

I recently purchased a Weber go anywhere grill.

We use a Camp Chef oven/stove combo and just picked up a fold-a-flame from the guys at Overland Expo! www.foldaflame.con

I've moved almost exclusively to using a JetBoil. Sure the Mountain House and Backpacker's Pantry meals are pretty good. Things get tasty when you have vacuum sealed some smoked meat, boil the pouch in the Jetboil, and you've got chicken carnitas ready in three minutes.

Neither. My go-to is some delicious USMC-issue MREs.

2 burning stove is the yummy way to go for me. Got a 3lb propane tank years ago for car camping. I enjoy cooking. And I love being outside. So why not really enjoy cooking outside. If I am out for just a day, then I usually pack a lunch. But my kitchen is almost always in the truck and ready to go. The first image is cooking off the swing out tail gate table. The second image is cooking off a campsite table.

I used to have one of these and it worked quite well until I left it on for an hour with no food destroying the grill grate.

Lately I just use my two burner stove.

I have a Coleman 2 burner stove that I've had for years! It's my go to for food cooking.

Catch and cook.

Can you cook same foods on grill as on stove ? Or are u limited to just meats on grill

Camp Chef Everest for now...but have my eye on a Tembo Tusk Skottle!

I take a MSR Dragonfly for cooking, and when I go out west due to fire bans for grilling I use a Ducane "Take it or leave it" gas grill. Oh yeah its worth the weight!

That's the move! I did the same thing with my 2-burner a few years back and can't believe I didn't do it sooner.

I just picked up a combo. I don't like just a stove because I lose the ability to grill which is important.

Not yet but I've used Colemans full size Roadtrip grill and it is excellent.

We pretty much only use a cast iron pan and dutch oven for truck camping. Build up a good base of coals and toss in the ingredients.

Campfire, always. Foil packs and mountain pies, and a grill grate for eggs and bacon

A cast iron is a must. Cheap, lasts forever, tons of options and easy to clean.

Around here that's not always an option when there's a burn ban in effect. A couple summers ago we even had a ban out on the coast. Which considering it's surrounded by a rain forest, is pretty impressive.

Thats the same stove we have been using since the states. We use it 2.5 times per day for breakfast, coffee, lunch and or dinner. We have been on a 20# bottle with an attachment I picked up at Home Depot; its been 6 months and I still have yet to run the bottle out. I would 100% recommend buying this if at all possible.

As an aside, it's a good idea to consider where you'll be going camping at and what the fire regulations are (they vary month to month depending on weather conditions) before making a decision.

For example, this is what Big Bend allows:

Are campfires allowed?
Ground fires and wood fires are prohibited throughout Big Bend National Park. Charcoal is allowed in grills in campgrounds. You may have a fire in a fire pan while on a river trip, or use a containerized fuel stove for backpacking

LOL....I'm going to have to dig out one of our Coleman Propanes......rest assured it looks nothing like yours. I do love he pic you posted....but it is fish not Elk steak....LOL. We use the heck out of them...feeding up to 10 people per meal....best dang stoves we ever had. Went from the white gas model to the propane....WOW....what a huge difference and for the better.
