Your Guide to the Best Camp Cooking System

In this video, you will learn the pros and cons of nine different ways we have cooked over our 20-plus years of experience cooking outdoors. It ranges from building a fire in the wild to cooking on an electric induction cooktop in our camper.

We have a Camp Chef stove/griddle, 17” Blackstone, Skottle and a Jetboil. Still occasionally use a Dutch oven over the fire too sometimes. Like them all but experimenting what works best. Cooking when camping is one of the best parts of camping.

The Coleman stove accepts pretty wide cast iron if you clip the side wing all the way out to first notch.. easily a twelve inch. As for flame control I can get a simmer. I can get the flame so low a gentle breeze could take it out.

Great video! Clearly you have experience of all these products. Loved hearing about your cooking methodology progression throughout the years.

Awesome content!! I have two main ways of making coffee whilst camping. The lazy and quickest version is boiling water and using the VIA instant micro ground coffee (Starbucks has the VIA name but there are other brands out there using this same principle) I just dump one or two packets in my Stanley, add the water about a minute off boil, stir and sip. The other way is boiling the water (I also use a Jetboil and MSR) then using whatever pre ground beans I bring along. I use an ESPRO 32oz french press. It's double filtered and is double walled and makes EXCELLENT french press coffee. There are tons of french presses out there but my ESPRO can go from the campsite to the kitchen counter and is very durable. For the price it better be, but like all this equipment, it's an investment.

what a great overview of cooking gear! I have the blackstone and break it out whenever there's a lot of people on the trip..otherwise it stays home! Keep up the great content!

For electric cooking check out the new Stokes Voltaic cooking system. Can't wait to try it when I get mine. For now I like my blackstone . Great video

"Overlanding" is just a silly word for car glamping.
