Camp Kitchen/ Kitchen Box

[CubbyXL7]

Built this to replace a couple of tubs and having to carry the camp stove separate. With exception of some hardware, built with whatever I could find around my garage.

Not complete - obviously- but at a point I could use it if I needed to. Will add a sliding cover for the drawers and pot cubby for travel and then paint.

nice work

I really like the design and layout of this. Nicely done. I wouldn't want to cart it in and out personally, but that's just me. If it works for you that's all that matters!

That's very efficient looking and also looks like very good craftsmanship. Let us know how it works out.

Your comment reminds me of one of my bright ideas five years ago. My chickens needed a better nesting house so I built one on my front porch. I guess I overbuilt it a little because it was so heavy I had to call my neighbor over to help me move it 50 feet. Afterwords he said for me to call on a different neighbor to help if I got any more bright ideas. We did have to put some umph into it.

Thanks! And, you’re right, it’s not as lightweight as I would like. But, I used soft pine and thin skin. It is also not intended for mobile camping as much as base camp use.

Thanks. I will add a few more pics when it finished. I’m looking at sometime in Feb before I get to put it to use.

It looks great! I may do something like this!

For Basecamp, this would be great. It would also work really well in a trailer. I mean, it would work just fine for mobile camping as well. Like I said, I think it's a great design.

Update: Kitchen box is done (except lid lift arm and lid latch). Definitely going to be a base camp type box and not a mobile in and out camp
kitchen. Fun build and painted in my favorite outdoor / adventuring OD green (20 years in the Marine Corps had no influence whatsoever). Has a primer coat of Kilz to seal and protect the wood. Looking forward to using it the first time.

Update to the update - forgot to show a pic of it closed up in travel mode. Put 1/4” aluminum channel around the drawers and pot cubby and then slide in the pegboard. Used pegboard, because just like fab metal with dimple die holes, it’s a little bit lighter.

Nice! Does the cubby on the front close for transport?

Yes it does. But it became too big for transport so it is a permanent camp kitchen at our place in the mountains.
