Summers And Boiling Hot Galley Cooking

In the summer we do almost all of our cooking outdoors. We have a Weber Q1200 propane grill and a Coleman 2 burner stove both attached to a single 20lb propane tank. The only time we use the indoor stove stop is for making popcorn if we are too lazy to go outside. Once the outside temp is above 80F we stop using the oven.

Cook outdoors for sure.

Well I guess that would be OK if there were no Jurassic-Park-Grade Insects around from 5 to 8 PM. Down here they grab you and flip you over to get at the juiciest parts.

How about one of those freestanding screen rooms? Like a canopy, but with screen sides.

I know getting anything is hard down there. But you could put it on your list.

Speaking of, it seems to me that you should have a wish list on amazon or somewhere, with a link in your sig, and when you help people out here (as you always do) we would have an easy way to express our appreciation. Do you have a US mailing address?

PS: 'Precision cooking', lol,

crock pot on table outside of front door. cook outside early morning and nuke it at night in microwave

Are your POTS and pans cast iron?
ALU ceramic and stainless don't work
Well cheap stainless might
Good stainless isn't very magnetic, induction doesn't work so well

Better get stocked up with some more knobs, that induction cooker is sorely lacking. :B

Ironically, your comment made me realise maybe I should buy one. Lost the knob on my old hotplate, Sticking a screwdriver deep in it and trying to find that little screw is getting tiresome. (That's what she said.)

Edit: Google say I gotta test all my pans with a magnet.

Can't win for losing. You all stopped me from making what I shall call "The 18/10 mistake" Thank you.

I did install aluminum insect screening. The first tropical storm expressed it's outrage at the color motif.

Crock Pot Ham n Eggs leaves a little bit to be desired. I nuke vegetables, chorizo and bacon plus potatoes.

When I go back permanently, I am going to find one really mean Jack Russell or maybe a duo to take with me. We have tomato rats down here the size of a house cat. They aren't nasty like a Norwegian rat the kind in Europe of US cities but they are disease carrying rodents. They'll gnaw through canvas or plastic in a New York Minute.

The old way - wood fire, insect repelling smoke, seems to be the smartest way to go. 100% time spent tending the fire and food.

One day I had a "Tabano" a red fly skid to a stop on my knee that was glistening slick with 100% concentration Repel DEET. Three seconds later it took a big chomp.

I need to devise a convection exhaust over the stove that doesn't suck out all the chilled air. Life in the tropics.

Be careful which induction cooker you buy they are not all the same.
Bought the wife one, not the brand she wanted, for the TT. First thing we found out was the off brand induction cooker did not stay cool to the touch. Good thing we keep a first aid kit in the TT. Next one we buy will be the one that doesn't get hot to the touch.
