I'm curious now what people here use. There are all sorts of options out there.
Personally I have used a coleman grill for a long time. In the past I've just used the grill on top of the camp table, but the issue there is that it takes up probably 65% of the table, and doesn't seem to leave enough preparation area, and no room to sit and eat.
While it has been reliable, the biggest downfall to me was the mess. The grease drops down into the base of the grill and just sits there. It would be really inconvenient to clean during the trip. So I've been forced to put the grill inside a carrying case, which is then carried on the roof. This is all done in an attempt to keep smells and grease out of the interior:
So with the coming RTT and decreased roof storage area, I was in the market for a camp stove. I looked around and saw a lot of options. I found many that were really expensive, some that were dirt cheap, some with perceived reliability concerns from user reviews etc. I also looked at wind deflection... as I often had issues with the old grille not being able to hold heat due to wind.
Anyways, that's just an introduction into discussion. Hopefully it will spur some thoughts from you guys. I'd love to hear what the rest of you use for your camp kitchens, and what lessons you've learned. I know some of you (cough, Bill) have some pretty fancy setups, and I'd like to know more about them.
