Desert Kitchen Set-up with #2
« on: February 09, 2017, 11:31:22 AM »
Hi Guys,
It's been a while....  I thought you might like my outdoor kitchen set-up that I used all weekend out at the desert house.  We smoked up the best bacon I ever had, used the skin from the pork bellies to make chicharrones, made tomatillo/chicharron guisado (a wonderful Mexican stew) on the Mojoe Griddle over a washtub fire pit and a beautiful breakfast with the home made bacon!  Just me and my buddy cooking all weekend with nobody to bother us!

Except for that shiny thing on the left!

Thanks!

I couldn't get this site to upload more than one picture at once so here are some others in separate posts...

This one is the finished bacon right out of the #2:

The view is great! Especially the one of the bacon. Where is the power coming from, I hope there is a cabin near by.

Yes, this is one of my favorite places!  My buddy and I have a shack out in the middle of nowhere in the California desert.  It has electricity and "city" water.  Here's a picture of the house:

We set the pork bellies out in the desert sun/air for a few hours to develop a very nice panicle (sp?) before they went in the Smokin-it.  And yes, every desert property absolutely must have at least one old truck on blocks!  In this case, it is a 1963 Dodge Custom.

i love tomatillos.  The ones I can get here are crap and the local store only has a very small selection.

I love your setup, especially you washing machine grill. My question is how do you put wood in with the flat plate on top? And how do you keep it from sliding off? We have one for camping without the round plate on top. I made a expanded metal grate that fits over 3/4 of the top with two handles and bent down to keep it from sliding off. best grill . We take the grate off and use it for our fire pit at salmon camp.Our washing machine drum is stainless steel, and has 3 legs that are 13 inches high so when we sit around it the heat radiates out and keeps our legs warm.
