Cooking Outside

[Janet H]

I had to google the can cooker - never seen one before. Do you use it often?

Years ago, I made a real discovery at Cash and Carry: Royal Oak "Competition" briquettes. Completely different animal. Not those horrible things in the grocery store, no sir... These have hardwood shavings in them, they burn clean, and give a very good delicate grilled taste when barbecuing.

I don't do barbecuing / grilling at home anymore even though I used to cook over live fire two-three times a week; the story is long but involves a high risk of falling on the deck steps. My nephew's coming down in a couple weeks, and we're going to rearrange the garage: going to get a Camp Chef pellet grill, assemble it, and park it right by the rollup door.

And to keep this on-subject, I have a Baby Q in a carrier for the back of the truck.

No we don't. The only thing we like using it for is a Low Country Boil and we only do one of those a couple times a year. I will say it does work perfect for that.

When we have shore power, we use an electric skillet and instapot outside. Lots of uses and easy cleanup.

Campfire, charcoal (akorn jr) or Coleman stove outside. That covers pretty much any meal we might want to cook.

We carry a portable propane stove in a plastic case. Very handy when I want to cook something I don't want splattering all over the kitchen or stinking up the trailer. Runs for a long time on a single green 1-lb bottle.
