Coleman’s Military Surplus? I used the same exact thing for ~2 year, worked great.

So for my set up I run the Magellan folding camp kitchen which is great for when we food prep and even for drying all of our cooking stuff. I love my Camp Chef Everest as our dual burner stove, it boils water faster than my own stove at home! And the final piece of the kitchen which is our absolute favorite is none other than the Skottle!

Sorry, I just cant justify the cost of the Skottle over the cost of a $30 grill. I'm sure it fits your needs though and that's what it is all about.

That'll do fine, a bit bulky and messy to use but you have a river close by to handle that. (forget what I said about the river but you still have a water source)
Nice camp spot though. What kind of tent are you using ? Where did you find that camp fire cooker ? Is it legal for a no burn forest situation ? The more I look the more I like that thing !

I built my simple two drawer cargo set up to house my stove, jet boil and crockery as there’s little available aftermarket for my 2012 Xterra pro 4x

Personally I prefer seeing the home built kitchens the most. I'm designing mine but haven't started yet. Every time I start the build I change my mind about where I want to put what. It takes some skill IMO to design a good set up. I like to watch cockroack prepper on utube. He comes up with some great stuff for his rig that are always affordable and practical. Being an old British soldier he is very inventive and a kind ol Gent.
Hey Lanluber.... messy yes, but not bulky, its actually all flat sheet mental. It packs down to about 1” thick. I designed it and am building it, a few people have asked so I started selling them. Check out my website: www.legacy-outdoor.com Let me know what you think… I always like feedback.
It is open flame so if you have a fire ban, it is no good, and I would say check your local rules. My tent is a Colman I think, it was one I got on sale at Walmart.

Is that the Smittybilt rooftop tent (sorry, distracted from the kitchen build). Thinking of getting one and would like your opinion on the product.

Here is the setup I used for many years. It was a modified Australian Chuckwagon. Originally built for 60 series Land Cruisers, I removed 4" from the center to make it fit into 4Runners. I used it in this Gen 3 and my Gen 5 and loved it. Finally sold it when we could no longer use RTTs and went to overlanding trailers.

At first glance I thought it was heavy. Then I enlarged it and could see it was collapsible.
It looks worthy and if you can make them thumbs up. How much are they ?

This far it’s worked out great. We actually use the Skottle even at home almost on a weekly basis. It’s definitely a fit for the needs type thing but the stove works fine too. We needed something where we could make a little bit more food at once for all of us since we have 3 kids besides us.
Pretty nice for a work in progress..... that's luxury camping!! :)

It looks like an upgrade (the lid) of what I use. Mine can be bought on amazon and it's a fish cleaning table with built in sink. I paid $60 for mine and bought a water tank with a hand pump. It work s for me.
