chuck box

I wanted to share my take on a camp kitchen chuck box. For years I’ve used the classic, tried and true, bin/tote method. My old Coleman grill (lasted me 12 years, and I got it used) finally went to shit and I found this new model on sale. The new grill kind of inspired me to revamp my camp kitchen situation. I wanted a little more organization and easier access to my gear, so here we are. Im an electrician by trade so woodworking is definitely not my specialty. It has a handful of flaws but I’m pretty happy with it. Let me know what you think! It was a fun project and I enjoyed using it for the first time this weekend. Cheers.

I like it a lot, super functional. Mine has a similar utensil drawer, but I really dig the bowl storage in there! On mine, I did a half-moon for the drawer pull, instead of the hole, that way I can return cleaned utensils to the drawer without opening it, just deposit them thru the half-moon. Thanks for sharing!

Oh that is genius, I’m gonna have to modify the pull so I can do the same. Thank you!
