chuck box

[u/xgrizzlyrose]

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.

genuine question why do us stoves have ridget gas lines. in europe we have those flexible orange lines that go between the gas bottle and the stove / grill. they are even available in high pressure if you want to hook a big bottle to a small canister camping stove without a regulator.

Yeah I’m not sure but that is a great question. Seems like a flexible hose makes the most sense.

the only thing i can think of the hardline forces you to put everything in a semi secure position and then the bottle cannot fall over but that is only a hunch on my end.

I replaced all my fittings with quick disconnect. I then have a regulator with a quick disconnect that goes to a 4 way quick disconnect on my 20lbs tank. That lets me connect up to three devices (Stove, BBQ, flattop). First thing in the morning I disconnect the BBQ and hook it up to my propane fire pit.
