Camp Chef EX60LW Explorer 2 Burner Outdoor Camping Modular Cooking Stove

Why we love it?

2-PATENTED ALUMINUM BURNERS- Highly efficient “blue flame” burners with output of 30,000 BTU each. Connects to a bulk tank with included regulator and can be adapted (part sold separately) to disposable propane bottles or natural gas. THE ORIGINAL CAMP COOKING SYSTEM- The stove is just a start; mix and match accessories like BBQ Grill boxes, professional griddles, reversible cast iron grills, and even artisan pizza ovens to create the camp kitchen you want.

Some comments about this we saw on the web:

* /u/ZacharyRD on /r/BurningMan This is amazing, thanks. Where do you usually (geographically) camp? I’ll try to check you this year. We were at 4:30 and A last year, and will probably be around there again.

That matches what we tried for frying; it just didn’t scale for chicken for us. But those tricks for getting a great french fry sound awesome and delicious.

For what it’s worth, a generator is an AMAZING investment for a camp like this. Chest freezers are a godsend. And draw shockingly little power.

And by the way, we did a 100% protein menu – all we served was chicken (drumsticks, because wings had a shitty bone-to-meat ratio and were more of a mess; but plenty of restaurants serve drumsticks and call them wings too…). We wanted to do something decidedly different than other people giving away food, and this is what we settled on. But yes – food safety and paranoia. Both are REALLY important.

Anyone reading this: He is talking about burners like http://www.amazon.com/Bayou-Classic-Single-Burner-Patio/dp/B0009JXYQ4 for the fryer burner. I own that one for our camp, as well as a http://www.amazon.com/Camp-Chef-Explorer-EX-60LW-2-Burner/dp/B0006VORDY – the Camp Chef is amazing, by the way. They suck down propane though.
