We are in a small space, and we may not be able to have a camp fire. We will probably have a BBQ grill, and a camping stove, but there are 13 of us (2 teenage boys). I don’t want to spend all day cooking or cleaning up after cleaning.
We have some food limitations; no beans, no pork, no eggs, and healthy would be nice.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

It’s been years since I last went camping and I’m wondering if this can be done with a open grill and large pot or if I need to get a camping stove. Any recipes, tips, or answers will be helpful.

Was looking at what gear would be needed for camping. Never thought of some places fire is not allowed unless in designated areas, never knew. If need to cook something need a camping stove. Would hiking with propane be something dangerous though? Is there such a thing as propane free stoves?

I’m going to a music festival on thursday, and will be camping there for 4 nights. I wondered if anyone knows of any ways of cooking tinned foods such as Spagetti and beans over a camping stove without using a pan? I know you cannot simply heat up the can.
Cheers
I tried heating the can last year, and the beans tasted awful, metallic and smelt of plastic even after removing the lid and paper.

Hi, a friend & I are going on car-camping holiday around tassie leaving in the middle of January.
Having done a bit of camping before, I’ve got a tent, sleeping bags and all that kind of stuff already. But we haven’t got a camping stove, pots & other cooking gear.
Since we’ll be getting to Tassie via the train & the ferry, and then rent a car, we don’t want too carry too much luggage with us, so it’ll be good to hire any cooking gear at Devonport.
Any good camping shops there, who don’t charge too much for camping cooking gear hire?
TIA

Those of you who are like me and spend quite a bit a time camping when you were a kid, probably remember the old liquid fuel lanterns. The kind you had to adjust just right to get to light and burn and the filament mantles that were constantly burning out and needing to be changed. Well good news for you nostaligia buffs. You can still get the green 2 mantle Coleman liquid fuel lantern. Although it is quite a bit more expensive then I remember it being at around $65.
But for those people who like the nostalgia of the camp lantern but would also like the modern convenience of rechargeable battery power. You may want to check out the Coleman Retro Rechargeable Battery Powered Lanter. That was a mouthful. This lantern looks nice, costs less then then the liquid fuel lantern, and runs cool so no more burnt fingers or fire hazards caused by the old style lanterns. The battery can run up to 9 hours on a single charge and can be recharged with a 120-volt ac outlet or a 12-volt dc power port. So you can recharge the battery from your car’s lighter port.
Changing the bulb is easy with the quick release lever. And the light shines brightly and upward and out with the built in reflector. The battery is recyclable and there is a built-in nightlight. If you want to save a little cash you can also just get the Coleman Rugged Battery Powered Lantern. It only costs around 25$ and will keep your tent lit for hours. It can run on low up to 28 hours and on high up to 18 hours. It also runs cool and is a great addition to your camp.
When I camp I like to have at least a couple of lanterns for lighting those dark mountain nights. Plus, some extra flashlights for quick trips to the restroom or walking at night or for searching for things in the dark. Plus if you are startled at night you want something quick, that will light with the push of a button.
