COOKING Gadgets & Utensils

[CalSgt]

I just picked up a weber q1200 yesterday for this purpose. We'll see how it holds up. I have friends that have the propane go-anywhere and they like it. I wanted a little more horsepower.

The Q1200 looks like a nice unit, one of the buggy guys in our group brought one on the last trip. I didn’t think to ask them about it because my grill was still in one piece then.

I think I have a go-anywhere somewhere around here, it never seemed to get hot enough and IIRC was what I was using before the Cuisinart. Maybe it’s a generic one though, I dig it out and test it at the house

Bonus: There was a duffel bag in the middle of 395 last night, I thought maybe someone from my group lost their gear. Turned out to be a big 2 burner Camp Chef stove. Doesn’t fit my needs for a compact stove but was free. It has a little road rash and the frame is bent but I can fix that

If he gets any use on it let me know….

I might try to get a Fordyce trip in in a few weeks and might need to buy before then unless one of the guys offers to cook

He said he loves it and will continue to use it instead of his 17” blackstone. Only issue is that the griddle can be messy. He’s thinking of getting/making a splash guard.

Probably cool for someone in a rivion or cybertruck.

A few guys in my camp were dealing with battery issues just powering their fridges

I don’t think an e-griddle would work for my needs but it is kinda neat. I didn’t even know that they existed

Heating elements are the worst on batteries! Even a basic pancake griddle will tear through my Yeti 500 battery.

Okay, I searched for the Brunton, that sucker looks well designed. Also, you’re right, they’re non existent. EBay didn’t even have used ones after a quick search.

When you say Jetboil I assume you’re referring to the cup style backpack unit. I was checking out the 2 burner Jetboil stoves in Scheels the other day, I was convinced I needed one until I noticed the $450 dollar price tag.

I’m not above spending money on quality products but I’ll need to wait for a milder month to drop that type of coin. I was only in there because the wife and kids were school clothes shopping, they tried to bankrupt me.

Yes, single cup version of the jetboil but I have seen the multi burner and it looks pretty cool. A lot of money for what it is though.

I’m pretty sure the Brunton will last me forever. I don’t use it often but it sure is nice when I do.

Do you still have that oven? I remember you brought that thing back on that camping trip outside of Tonapah like 8 years ago.

That checks out, I lived off grid for a few years as a teenager. A giant bank of batteries, 2K watt inverter and a big generator. We couldn’t use anything that made heat unless it was gas powered or the generator was running.
