Who here cooks inside camper or Outside camper?

[yankeeslover]

going on my first big outing in two weeks. Adirondacks in NY.. old forge... they do have black beer. Current camper has indoor three burner stove. Just getting epinions on who cooks inside, or who cooks outside? I have a two burner coleman stove that I think im gonna take with me. im not sure I really want to do a lot of cooking inside camper besides boiling water.. I imagine cooking bacon or frying steak inside will linger smell wise even though there is a powered vent right there.. how do you guys do it? do you utilize your inside stove, or cook mostly outside? im just looking for epinions, that's all..thanks

I use the inside kitchen alot .Soup, pancakes, eggs , canned veggies, spaghetti sauce, boiling hot dogs if its raining out,pizza in oven. However I wouldn`t grill steaks meat ect in the trailer. Just prefer BBQ for that. If its a great day I like to cook everything outdoors. Bought one of those Kuerig k cup coffeemakers. So handy in the morning.

We have cooked bacon inside several times. We have made tacos inside. I have baked salmon and haddock in the oven- always run the fan, have not had any lingering odors. We do, however, often buy the microwave bacon because it is easier than dealing with the grease.

Prefer to cook outdoors, but with limited storage and a big family, I don't want to lug another stove and and another propane tank with me. I was greatly saddened/displeased to discover the difference between HP propane (i.e. what a coleman stove uses) vs. LP propane (what the trailer has coming off the reg valve.) Otherwise, I'd ditch that goofy "RV-que" and replace it with my Coleman in a heartbeat.

My issue is space and kids-- start cooking food and they all start hovering around the stove. No room for that sort of behavior in the trailer! Plus, I could then start my morning coffee without disturbing the Missus.

We're pretty much newbies, but don't cook inside unless it's heating something like hotdogs, or nuking.

Don't like the smell of cooking in all the fabrics.

Cheers!

Usually a combo of in and out.

Except for the oven (for obvious reasons) we cook entirely outside. We're originally tent campers though, and still do back-country backpacking and kayaking trips. We're just more comfortable cooking outside when camping.

Nick's Lake or Enchanted Forest? I'm not allowed to fry stuff inside, but we do use the microwave and the oven. Grease 'n' all. Our camper came with an RVQ that hangs on the outside. Not allowed to use that either. Don't wanna schmutz up the awning! Tiny Weber gas grill and a gasoline Coleman (the only kind!)on a folding table. Outside.

I use a neutralizer spray in the camper. With 3 dogs & cooking it is used all the time. I spray the all the areas that have cloth, carpet & day/night shades. So far I have not noticed any odor in the camper for the 9 years I have cooked in it.

We bought our trailer last fall and only got to camp in it twice, but during one of those trips, I did KD on the stove inside. That said, we have since gotten a BBQ and electric burner to keep outside. I'd like to avoid cooking inside if possible. Our trailer is really small (18') and I don't want everything to smell like meat.... especially since I'm a vegetarian. 😉

They make a round screen to place over a skillet. This keeps the grease from splattering onto the kitchen surfaces. We haven't had a problem with food odors; just air out the trailer, just as you would air out your kitchen at home.

Camping is camping and you have to rough it a bit.......

Inside.eggs anyway wanted, mac n cheese, nuked nuggets, pasta sauce, and sandwiches. .Outside: Bacon, boiling water, fish fry, or grilling.

We mostly cook outside. That poor stove that attaches to the outside of the camper gets used on every trip. I do make coffee inside in the morning, though and sometimes have to use both outside and inside to get breakfast ready.
