Some of the best meals I’ve ever had have been outside, saddled up to the car at the campground or miles into the backcountry. Maybe I was just hungry after a long day kicking around in the mountains. Or maybe food tastes better when it’s eaten outside. Either way, having a dialed camp kitchen makes those meals enjoyable to eat and cook.

Over the years, my setup has evolved as I’ve developed new systems and collected new gear. Once upon a time, my camp kitchen was pretty rudimentary. Those days are long gone, though. Now, I’ve got my favorite stove, table, utensils, cookware, hot sauces, and even a kitchen sink (that’s not a figure of speech).

Sometimes, I worry I’m more equipped to cook outside than in my home kitchen. But there are worse problems to have.

In short: Building your camp kitchen is almost as fun as using it. So, as you prepare for camping season, here are some things to consider to dial yours in, develop your systems, and delve into the wide world of cooking outdoors. We’ve included discussions of gear, cookbooks and recipes, tips, tricks, and hacks to refine — and perhaps perfect — your camp kitchen and outdoor cooking game.

It has a wide temperature range and is capable of cooking burgers, sauteeing veggies, scrambling eggs, and boiling water efficiently. This is a packable piece of equipment at 8.2 lbs and a 19” x 12” base. That is why we named it the Best Compact Camping Stove.
