Our scout unit has a premier outdoor cook on the troop committee. At the recent encampment where we had 30 scouts, leaders and a couple of guests, the scout cooks for the day, with the advise of our chef, made the most unusual dinner.
Take two of the old stainless 10 gallon milk cans, throw a little veg oil in the bottom, throw in about 10 pounds of new red potatoes, a couple heads of cabbage, a few pounds of carrots and onions, a spiral cut ham into each one and a couple dozen ears of corn. Add a little water and some salt and pepper, throw them on the camp chef and let them cook a while.
Make a 2x4 frame about 3 ft x 18 inches, lined with NEW garbage bags stapled to the frame. When the food in the cans is cooked, dump it all into the frame lined with garbage bags, set a couple of big spoons and tongs in there and turn the boys loose to fill their plates.
Just like sloppin the hogs but boy was it good. Even our two city folk guests thought it was great. Camp Chef stoves do have a place, especially for big groups. I'd sure hate to try feeding our herd on a two burner coleman.
