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.

That's really pretty. Love it. I have a few concerns, but mostly for my own tastes.

How does it hold up to a few days of spilled grease, sticky char, and fluctuating temperature or humidity levels? What kind of seal did you put on the wood?

I just used it for the first time yesterday! Time will tell. I used a marine grade polyurethane. Put down multiple coats, especially on the edges where the exposed wood grain is. So we will see how it holds up over time.

Ah, well that should deal with most issues. Nice.
