Rieux Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 My father has one of these http://www.amazon.com/Camp-Chef-SH-140L-Pressure-Detachable/dp/B0000ASCU9 that he uses outside to sear fish, steaks, and blacken things. He generally puts a 15 inch cast-iron skillet on it, gets it white hot with some oil and butter, and quickly sears things to then be either finished over a lower flame or in the oven. (Striped Bass cooked this way, with a little salt, pepper, and lemon is divine.) I just got one for my birthday. I know how to do steaks and fish, but does anyone have any cool ideas on other ways I might use this? I could see using it to boil large stockpots of water for lobsters, or canning, or things like that, but I am sure I am missing some cool things I could be doing!

Our building engineer uses something very much like this to fry turkeys during the holidays. Deelish! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsDiPesto Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Would that be high enough BTUs for a Wok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistle Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I've been very happy w/ my CampChef stoves- they have high output (30k) burners, & when the power goes out, I'm safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 ^I was at an event yesterday where someone was using one of these to deep fry enough lumpia for 50 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
