Camp Cooking

[RosscoPCole]

I don't mean mincing about whilst turning sausages.
What do you use to cook whilst camping. I currently have a couple of those small individual gas cylinder rings that fit into a rectangular case, but want to buy something under £100 that would cook a decent meal. Preferably gas as I am too lazy to set a charcoal barbeque up in the morning.
What does the PH collective recommend?
Thanks in advance.

Stretch your budget and consider a Cadac carry chef delux, or the latest incarnation of it.
Good size grill, griddle, Scottle (wok type thing) and BBQ grill, packs neatly and easy to clean and assemble.

ETA. Not suitable for back packing or traveling light though.

+1 for a Cadac. Brilliant things.

And a Trangia for everything else.

Have always managed with a dual Campingaz stove before, but borrowed a friends Beauclaire for the last trip. Absolutely brilliant. Am shopping for one now.

If you can find them a bit cheaper, my scout group have used these for years, run on unleaded. In the scouts we mostly use it for making coffee to sustain leaders on long camps, the explorers use 3 of them to do all the cooking for up to 25 people on a two week camp. They are pretty durable too, I think the ones we recently replaced were ~10 years old, and they get a lot of use.

Once you have the facility to cook - think about utensils.

I would strongly recommend a "Double Skillet" (Google it) - it will increase the available options when cooking tenfold.

Worth the investment.

You could always go for one of these.

Works pretty well too.

I remember someone recommending this on PH before and weirdly was looking for it earlier this evening!

Think I'm going to look at this option, as a roastmaster or similar is probably a bit OTT.

this looks easy, what could go wrong??

We cook on one of these when camping. The burners are brilliant. The "grill" is pathetic and no use at all. It all folds flat like a briefcase so handy for packing. It can not support small pans due to the grid above the burners for the pan to sit on but any normal size pan is fine.

Probably me!

Saw one of these demonstrated at an outdoor Christmas market. Not cheap, but well thought through and solidly made.

Looks like a nice idea and aimed at the 'getting back to nature' crowd. I used to be one of them, but barely being able to see through wood smoke in my eyes a few too many times induced me to look at something powered by compressed dead plants and animals instead for cooking. And those smokeless heat log things for the firepit.
