Ultimate Portable Camp Kitchen

[@amytrumbull156]

I'm re-gathering camping gear after having lost all of mine years ago plus I usually went camping with my mom and sister who had all the gear. I think I've spent about $350 or so because I got tents, tarps, air mattresses, sleeping bags, Coleman two burner stove, big plastic bins for everything, etc. I'm going to Horse Flats next weekend with my grown kids and granddaughter, who has never been camping! I'm so excited, I've been binge watching folks camping videos on here for days. I'm bringing my cast iron pan for sure as I plan to d some cooking right on the fire pit. Yay! I'm jealous of your camp kitchen box....it's very cool! Thanks for the video:)

[@richhaupt8878]

I had to laugh when I saw your video! I’ve had mine for 20 years and have used the heck out of it! Haven’t seen one since. It is handy and keeps you organized and compact. Nice video! I’ve not only washed my dishes in the lid but given my boys baths when they were little!

[@1990westfalia]

I love your comment. In all the years that I’ve owned it, I could have sold it a 100 times. Enjoy the 4th holidays Skillet

[@1990westfalia]

Thanks for the note. The cool thing about camping, is that everyone has their system that works for them. I always enjoy seeing other options. Keep coming up with a better mouse trap.

[@clintdearing8098]

Love all the storage in this unit. great design and worth the money.

[@1990westfalia]

Rachel, Sorry about the delay, yet I have been Morel Mushroom hunting recently. Thanks for liking my kitchen set up. It works great and it's easy to maintain. There are some for sale every once in a while, but you could also make a perfect one for yourself too. Have fun camping. Cast Iron Kid

[@TRV550]

Nice product and review. I was looking into one of those but in the meantime a good buddy of mine built me a chuck box which is very similar to your box. It was a birthday present. It's nice to have everything in once place self contained. Grab and go. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy & be safe !

[@1990westfalia]

ChrisW, Thanks for enjoying the video. I purchased mine about 10 years ago on close out at Cabela's. At that time I've seen a couple here and there. $350.00 seems high but you also have to consider the shipping cost too. What I like about this system is that it's small, everything I need in inside the box and I can close it up at camp and not worry about rodents. As I've mentioned before, if you're handy with your hands you can find plans or suggestion to build one yourself. I am looking at building a box to hold my dry goods, such as a chuck wagon box of sorts. Best of luck on your search. Cast Iron Kid

[@1990westfalia]

This is a great option for the car campers. Please don’t stop searching fir these.

[@1990westfalia]

John, Great idea for the griddle. There are ton's of options with this camp kitchen. Thanks for sharing and I'll keep my eyes open for one.

[@johngalt6929]

Coleman makes a nice Teflon griddle for their stoves. A huge cooking surface and easy clean up.

[@tortoiseoverland]

I just bought one for $25 at Goodwill. I also bought a brand new dual fuel stove brand new for the same.

[@1990westfalia]

Barefoot Paws, good luck with your projects. Things you build always have a special place than the ones you buy. Best of luck and share your wins! I admire your list. Jeffrey

[@1990westfalia]

I feel your pain. I looked for a long time try to get out of those Tupperware plastic boxes too. You are so correct in that all I have to do to set up, is place it on the picnic table and open. It keeps everything in one place and ready to go! I have used mine for years and it actually keeps getting better. If I ever find these again, I'll send out a post. Thanks for your comment and keep playing with your food! Jeffrey

[@1990westfalia]

Mr Green, These are nice kitchen box set-up but they are currently not made any more. They are sometimes for sale on eBay or other auction sites yet very rare. I purchased mine several years ago and it’s still works great. Best of luck.

[@1990westfalia]

I have Tahoe that can carry what I need. This works great with groups. However, I might need to mention that when I camp, my menu does not consist of hamburger nor hotdogs. I enjoy cooking outdoors and have many fans and customers that enjoy a quality meal cooked outdoors. Thank you for comment. Cast Iron Kid

[@akwood1000]

I recently built a chuck box from plans from blue sky kitchen. It took a while to build, but a really ingenious design and really lightweight. I think I put about $50 into materials. It's a nice alternative to what was presented here. This unit looks like it would be pretty heavy with all that gear in it, but I guess you can carry the stove separately. I've got mine down to about 30-35 pounds, and that means things like plastic spice jars, utensils & silverware. GSI stuff for cookware.

[@1990westfalia]

Awesome find. People are loving these things. The stove is my go to stove now as well. I cook about 3-4 meals on it a week during the summer. Make a video and share your experiences. Cast Iron Kid.

[@1990westfalia]

It's one of those items with a low available count. I purchased mine at Cabela's years ago in the discount area. If your interested in it, I would continue to watch it and perhaps make the seller an offer with a couple days left. State that the shipping is a huge part of the price and perhaps you can get it for $100.00 plus shipping. Lastly, it's one of those things that if you'll use it a lot and really like the operation, it's a one time expense. I still love mine and get great comments each time I share the experience with others. Once again, It's great for a base camp when car camping. Best of luck.

[@insidedianeslife2456]

I totally want one. Thanks for sharing.

[@1990westfalia]

First last, Thank you for your comment. I haven't used it in a while, but it's ready to go when needed.

[@1990westfalia]

Mr Joseph1157, Thanks for your nice words. I enjoy this camp kitchen, however, I am now thinking of making a camp dry goods box that I can fill with staples for the week instead of using plastic bags and Tupperware containers. Watch for a video later this spring as I construct my staples box. Cast Iron Kid

[@1990westfalia]

You are correct, spending a $100.00 on a kitchen is a lot. I don't think I paid that much, but if I had the chance to get everything that I'd need in an all in one system, then I would spend it, once! This kitchen has been there, and back and has also met and exceeded expectation of everyone I cooked for. Simply, a kitchen in the old chuck wagon theme. Build one if you'd like, but this will be hard to beat. Please let me know how yours turn out. Best of luck!

[@1990westfalia]

Thanks for the comment. The kit is awesome, and you're right, it weights about 40-45 pounds. But frankly, it holds everything including spices, mixes and products that I commonly used while camping. Hotdogs and hamburgers are great usually, but this kit allows me to have fun with different meals. If I didn't have one and had a chance to get one, I would. It will be the last kitchen you'll ever have Expect if you get an RV.

[@1990westfalia]

It’s great to hear that you like the set-up. I could sell a hundred of these things, but they just don’t make them any more. Keep cooking.

[@iwantosavemoney]

this is really neat and a good set up. the only draw back I see is that it is plastic. I think it would be great if it was metal or wood something that would last a long time. good video

[@kellyfrye200]

Plastic keeps the weight down when fully loaded. Fiberglass would be better, but wood would be heavy!

[@1990westfalia]

Thanks for your comments. I still really like the unit. Good camping.

[@1990westfalia]

Thank you for your nice words. This kitchen has been a wonderful product. As I've looked on line, there are many other kitchens that people have built. So if you can't find one to buy, you can make one pretty cheap as well. In fact, I am looking at building a food pantry. A place that can hold the dry goods that I need to take on a trip...instead of a grocery bag. Best of luck. Cast Iron Kid

[@1990westfalia]

Justmanada77, you are correct, they have been discontinued for sometime. It’s one of those items that if you like it and can find one, get as you may not find another. I’ve seen several build their own as well. Best of luck.

[@1990westfalia]

Thank you for your comment regarding my camp kitchen. As per your question and comment of being of plastic, I would like to possible enlighten or correct something. Yes it is made of a plastic, yet it is not that same flexible, easy to break container that you buy at Home Depot/Target. I used to use those. This container will last for many years as currently it is about 10 years old and is still solid! It isn't light and metal and wood might be heavier.Yes the freezing temps might effect it, but that will hurt almost anything.They don't make these any more, darn! Thanks again for your view! Cast Iron Kid

[@BoresaverAus]

Very nice, I like! Good things are worth paying for.

[@jsnantic]

I like that its plastic to keep the weight down and also water resistant

[@lizlo8586]

I love It, I wish I could find one. Thanks for sharing.

[@1990westfalia]

Glad you liked the video. It works but you might find an option that works for you too. Building one might be fun too. Enjoy cooking in the outdoors.

[@BarefootPaws]

Awesome man! I have been looking for an idea to base my kitchen on for a little while now. This is it ;)

[@1990westfalia]

Thanks and good luck in your search or in building one. If you build one, I enjoy seeing it. Jeffrey

[@BarefootPaws]

Going to start with a rolling tool chest and a 2 burner stove. I will put it up on YT when I am done...so many projects atm haha

[@1990westfalia]

Badbiker666, the price I paid was several years back. You could make one just the way you like, but this one seems perfect for me. Also, as the saying goes when something seems expensive but is a quality product, "cry once and then enjoy it for a lifetime." Not my saying but I've used it a couple times. Thanks for watching the video and please let me know what you come up with, I might want to borrow the idea. Cast Iron Kid

[@leviodom1159]

Absolutely AWESOME Im now getting one thanks for the video

[@1990westfalia]

Thanks. I’ve mentioned the name several times, yet it isn’t made any more. I describe the box but it’ll be hard to fine. Some have built their own perfect box. Good luck my friend.

[@SUEvivalSeries]

love this...will you please tell me the name of it again? ty for the excellent info on it!

[@FirstLast-nh6go]

Nice setup.

[@ricaldrich3424]

I must have one of these...Great Video

[@1990westfalia]

Dwight, What, you think it's too big for backpack camping, you are sadly mistaken, my friend. It is perfect for that Ultra Light weight backpacking trip! I typically will carry this on a 5 or 6 day solo backpacking trip, along with a cast iron Dutch Oven and a 12 inch cast iron Lodge skillet. The entire set up only weights about 125 pounds, no issues here! Just a quick question back to you, how does that 28' travel trailer feel when you carry it on your back when you go low impact camping?

[@bernadettemarie5309]

I couldn't find this anywhere. I would love to get one - but no idea where to find it.

[@summerchang5127]

Nice video and awesome product! I'm curious how much weight is the box with all the stuff you have in there? Thanks!

[@1990westfalia]

The brand of sink is Seattle Sports Pocket Bowl which is from REI. Currently, they are on sale at REI oultet. I try to keep things simple by not adding enough "stuff" that will feed a small army, but take enough to ftake care of my group that is camping. I have recently seen the the Campmate box on ebay a couple of weeks agao. Jeffrey

[@diannesumone2814]

The portable camp kitchen looks awesome . What is the brand new please? ( I can't make out the writing on the lid). Where can you purchase this from? Thanking you Regards Di

Thanks for you comments. These Dosko CampMate kitchens are no longer made or sold, except on eBay very rarely. It is a very useful kit. Thanks for watching.

[@diannesumone2814]

@@1990westfalia Bugga can't get them anymore. Thankyou for replying 👍

[@CroakerOutdoors]

Nice little system but the price is a little too steep for me. Personally, I use two clear plastic tubs then cut and modified some cardboard boxes for organizing the inside. One food box, the other is the kitchen box...less than $12 wallmart. If I need something I can unlatch the top and grab it rather than have to open up some sliding doors. Thanks for posting

[@1990westfalia]

Thanks for the comment. It really is a great system when you are cooking for several people. If you like it, keep looking on eBay, they come up for sale once in awhile. Cast Iron Kid

[@345632645]

Awesome video! Ive currently been shoving everything in a backpack and wanted to see other methods of a tiny kitchen. I cook from my car, I dont really do camping. I really like the cookware pot and pan you have. I've been looking for something just like it. Please let me know where you got it. Thank you so much.

This thing is amazing. I really want one. I just checked fleabay, some Ahole is asking $350 for one. When were these discontinued? What is a considered a good price on one? Also, are there different sizes?

[@1990westfalia]

The portable camp kitchen is when the guys go out for deer camp for a week and someone has to do all the cooking. As I head out on a solo, I usually just take a Lodge 8" skillet, my 14cm Zebra Billy Pot (see my latest video with contents) and then a cup, bowl and spork. Nice of you to comment on the kitchen, yet why the matches?

[@damienlovestheoutdoorsandr6110]

So would like to own one of these. But cannot get them here in england.

[@1990westfalia]

I think they could have sold several hundred since people are starting to car camp again. Good luck looking. Check Ebay often.

[@dwightstewart7181]

I don't get the point. It's too large for backpack camping, but unnecessarily minimalist for car camping. For the latter, there's just no great reason to not have a more capable grill, better pots & pans, and similar. Happily, I don't have to worry about this anymore since my camping is now done with a 28' travel trailer (indoor kitchen, outdoor kitchen, etc) towed off-road behind my 4x4 truck.

I liked the size of this product, but I thought $100 for a plastic box sounded like a lot to spend. So I went and looked around and found this same unit on eBay being sold used. However, even used the seller was asking $168. Nice idea, but way out of my price range.

[@1990westfalia]

Lmao, when I made this video, we had a young son, so my schedule was run by others. Now he’s driving and my wife looks at me and says, “ you’re still here?” Times are a changing! I still have this kitchen, yet my food has improved. Skillet.

Okay, I have received a second comment that the price for this all inclusive kitchen is too high. If you think it's too much, then you can do one of two things, show me your camp kitchen that you use that is as complete as this one. Or just not comment.

[@kathymyers7279]
