For those of us that camp in one spot and are less than mobile (ex. not backpacking)..what's your favourite cooking apparatus?


mine is the Hibachi...http://thecoopercabin.blogspot.com/2010/02/lodge-hibachi-cast-iron-grill.html

although a smoker is a close second. Nothing like camping and scarfing down smoked hot links, venison, hamburgers and hot dogs.

I like all out door cooking i do it all year round even in the fireplace when the weather is real bad. I like cooking in my 55gal home made smoker the best. I cook halved chickens, tritips, Hams,prime rib, turkeys. We even do Family weddings. With five of these smokers we have cooked tritip and chicken for 200 hot and ready to eat all at once.

Im going to Mikes for dinner...who's with me? :D

Think i'm gonna buy a smoker for here...i live in an apartment complex. Someone swiped my little mini-charcoal grill  :rant:

The next grill is gonna be secured with a massive masterlock and logging chain. I'm gonna spraypaint my initials all over it.

Here's what I have/use:



At least I think that's the model.  It's a two burner Coleman stove that looks an awful lot like that one, if that's not exactly it!  I've always had a soft spot for Coleman stoves- when we used to go camping when I was a kid my father would do much of the cooking outside on his old Coleman stove, despite having a stove inside the trailer.

I think it's great- I keep it in the house for possible power outages, and I take it with me when I get the Jeep dirty in case we want to stop for lunch.

This is an awesome setup.  My daughter has a similar set up that has one stovetop burner setup and a second one that convert to a standard gas grill.

It offers superb quality and easy set up in a lightwight and tiny package.

I brought my grill out on the ice for a nice pork butt that cooked while we fished.  It's basically a kettle-style charcoal grill, with the legs rotted off.  So I sit it in a steel washtub for support.  It works pretty well.  Here's the best picture of the setup.
It's also a nice source of heat when the wind picks up.

Seeing as I backpack a lot, I like my Soto OD-1R Micro Regulator stove



Don't bother with large car camping style grills, that's what an open fire is for! :D

Weber only for me when it comes to grilling, BBQ and smoking.  I've tried other, more or less fancy stuff, and it just doesn't get any better.

At home and large camps, I use a Weber 22.5" one-touch gold loaded with a Smokenator 1000(best smoker I've ever used!).  For slightly smaller home/camping requirements, I use a Weber silver one-touch 18.5".

For small camps of 4 or fewer people, I use a Weber Go-Anywhere.

I have used a notebook grill and just a grate over a fire, but I prefer to have a lid on my grill for better temp control.

I never leave my old-skool (1960's) coleman two-burner stove at home, and I also always take a dutch oven along to cook dessert...

+1  :tu:

I just got the Weber One Touch Gold A, (57CM) so I'm pretty much ready for Summer..  :D
I've used the Silver 47CM  last year, but I cant wait to make a good roast on this..

WOW.  That copper/brown color is SHARP!  We only have black, blue or green available here, AFAIK.  Also, our Gold models don't come with that nice lid holder.  Ours just have the hook on the bottom of the lid.

Look into the Smokenator.  It's a great setup.
