Haute Cuisine Meets Campfire Cookouts
For many lucky island owners, worrying about what to cook for dinner is rarely a concern. The waters around their vacation homes teem with fresh salmon, bonefish and even delicacies like crabs and oysters. Often, the only thing standing between vacationers and eating like kings is the prospect of burning their catch of the day over a roaring fire. Finding camping-friendly accoutrements for creating spectacular dishes is a must.
Coleman is one of the world’s best-known specialists in rugged, outdoors stoves and grills. And while famous for their little propane-powered stoves that work great for heating soup or making coffee, the company also has a wide range of products for those with a taste for the finer side of camping. Throw your Ahi tuna and skewered pineapple on the RoadTrip Grill, a high-tech product designed for nature-loving gourmands. Portable and easy to set up, the RoadTrip has large cooking surfaces, push-button ignition and side tables for cutting and preparation.

For campers who love the rich taste of smoked fish, a recent invention allows them to get started immediately on their favourite delicacy. Hitting the market just a few years ago, portable smokers are also a great way to preserve and transport excess fish if you’ve been lucky with the rod and reel. Manufactured by Ron Thompson, this stainless steel portable smoker burns aromatic wood powder to give your fresh trout or salmon a delicious smoky taste.

A mainstay of yesteryear’s decidedly low-tech camping, the Dutch oven is making a surprising comeback among modern campers. With the advent of trendy “slow food”, the hours it may take to slowly steam tasty meat and veggies give this rustic product a new air of luxury. A heavy cast-iron pot that sits just inches above the coals in your fire pit, the oven creates perfect comfort food for chilly evening meals.
