Re: Cowboy Cookset
Supposedly she does. Supposedly. For longer trips I suppose the hassle would worth the extra variety in meals, but I can't take her on longer trips. At the heart of it, I am just a minimalist whereas she is a kitchen-sink camper. The cookset is not really comfortable to work with because it is so close to the ground. She does have trouble with that part. Plus we have to either bring our own firewood or buy the expensive wood at the campground (she has to have full hookup for some reason). OTOH, we get lots of visitors who want to check it out. So anyway, it gets packed when she goes with me, but for solo trips it stays at home.2018: Any way the wind blows; doesn't really matter to me....Too Meee....

Whoa that is some system!
Looks like there's a hanging rod for every temperature one could imagine but I too can only imagine using it for an extended trip for several people.
There's a PBS show about a chef enamored with Revolutionary War cooking techniques who uses a similar system over an indoor fireplace. I'll try to find his name and the show's link.Last edited by NYCgrrl; 12-07-2016, 12:46 AM.2017:

Re: Cowboy Cookset
Complex is right. I never saw it being used by a single cowboy or a couple when on the ranger, in TV or movies. For a group riding herd, maybe.
Me, I get by with my GI canteen cup and stove, which packs with my canteens. While I am not an uber-hiker minimalist, I do like to go simple. I do use a small propane stove. I rarely have an open fire.Longtime Motorcycle Camper. Getting away from it all on two wheels! :cool:
