Camp Kitchen Contest Photo
Beach campsite on the North End of Trout Lake this past month. Lots of wind at our campsite-and everywhere else! We had the old and the new. An old two burner Coleman Stove with propane and the new, two SnoPeak stoves with isobutane.

As much fun to make, as it is to eat. On Jasper just prior to the closure in August.

Crooked Lake, August 2020

Our Kitchen set-up is pretty small: a one-burner Trangia Stove (burns denatured alcohol), and one-pot meals primarily. Gneiss Lake.

S’mores on Pine.

The light and exposure on this photo is beautiful. I love this shot.

Cheese ravioli with red sauce in Killarney, forgot the wine

This was a first time delicacy for our August 2020 trip to Fourtown Lake. Eight slotted home made cedar plank boards fit perfectly on the fire grate. With an expert fire master tending the coals (a water spray bottle nearby - just in case), the soaked planks charred and smoked to cook the salmon to perfection. What a treat! Unfortunately we couldn’t repeat in 2021 with the fire ban, but hope to put this back on the menu for next years trip.

I'll up the ante on that fire-ban smore... (not for contest)

Disappointment Lake

After tasting something we ultimately referred to as "Queasy Sham and Fauxtatos"

Quesadillas on a rock, Grace Lake 2016

We’ve done this every year except 2021 because of the fire ban.

Fish fry time!!!!

This is spectacular!

Emerald Lake, Quetico. Breakfast may take a while. And I've no idea why we had so many sausages for 2 people.

Beauty shot!, Cabinafter,
(Who gets to carry the cast iron pan? ;))

Appy Hour! Another reason to get into camp by 4:00. A new tradition from our friends

That sky. So perfect.

Stan wasn't hungry that day...

Sunrise Breakfast on The Rock, Snipe Lake

We had paddled from Insula to Lake Three and caught a walleye along the the way. Everyone got out their camp stoves and chipped in cooking the fish, fry bread and hash browns for supper that night.

~ Sautéing morels on Big Moose Lake

This is how we cook 90% of what we eat up there. Boiling water added to camp meals. We also bring a non stick fry pan for a few fresh breakfasts and fish fries. Works for us.

Just a great end of the day pic.
