This thread is for anyone who wants to share camping/cooking tips tricks or just bragging πŸ˜‰ on new toys for motorcycle camping πŸ•

 
The really heavy cooking/smoking/eating/drinking threads are down in the Off Topic section, not that they don't happen here as well.
Pop on down there if you get the notion.
 
I have own five different designs of wood stoves. All have their pros and cons. I remember one time in Colorado I packed a wood stove since I knew there would be plenty of wood. Unfortunately, it rained or sprinkled everyday. No dry twigs or sticks. Fortunately, I had packed emergency fuel: paper egg carton pods filled with wax. I had just enough for the trip. Used my last one the last day. My big problem was the soot. It covered the bottom and sides of the pan, somehow got on my hands and then transferred to my face, clothes' and hat. Being soot free is the big advantage of butane, propane, and gasoline backpacking stoves.

I also have a jet boil for that reason too. Also have a wood shop in garage so plenty of oak pieces. Take a fuel bottle and some steel wool. Soak it in fuel, just as good as the expensive black beard wicks.

Yes Sir we ate pretty good!
 
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at our daughter's house with all the grand kiddos. Yesterday Nanna said we ran out of leftovers πŸ˜ͺ πŸ˜” Nooo! Nanna told Pappy to get that turkey out of the freezer! πŸ˜†πŸ˜ Now we're cooking with peanut oil!!

 
My motorcycle camping usually involves earning Marriott points! I had enough freezing at night or sweating my you know what off camping when I was a kid. I can afford not to do that now. If I can hang around a campfire and then go inside to my room that's a good trip!
