What type of grill do you guys use while cooking up some breakfast in the boat blind? I was thinking about one from bass pro that you can stick in the floor where your pedestal seat goes. Or do you think just a portable coleman grill is the way to go/ Thanks for any ideas.

We don't cook while we're hunting, but my father used to have one of those little propane grills for trolling in the winter. Used to have a heater in the front of the boat too and both running off of a 20lb tank. Have flat gunwhales on the Lund, so he just set it there, and bungeed the legs. The grill he used was one of the rectangular ones. Not expensive, but did the job, and if it ended up in the drink, it was no big loss.

I use a small propane gas plate that you use the little screw in propane tank with. I use a small frying pan for bacon/sausage egg bisquits for those dark hours waiting for the sun to come up. I get the bisquits the night before from KFC. Yum, I just made me hungry!

Oh, be careful to not spill the bacon grease all over the floor of your boat. It will add an entirely new dimension to your hunting! Don't ask me how I know. :oops:

I got a small one burner stove that we use, don't cook all the time but it is nice on a cold morning to have a hot meal of sorts.

We always cook in the boat...Either a warm breakfast or a lunch. I use a small butane stove I got at a local sporting goods store (I think Wally World has them too) It uses butane fuel in a can the size of a paint can. It burns very hot and lights easily in the wind. They are about 20 bucks and the cans of fuel are about 2-3 bucks each. I get a weekend out of a can. Here is a pic of some cheesburgers....MMMMMMmmmmm

YUP, that's pretty much the same hot plate I use.

Nothing like the smell of sausage (or bacon) cooking while you're waiting for the sun to come up. Hmmm Hmmm good!!! :thumbsup:

That picture sure reminded me of a nice cold morning in the boat. WIsh I was there instead of here!

I use the big Coleman Guide Series stove so I can get two frypans going at once. Also because it has some big windscreens to keep the flames from blowing out. We don't always have the blind up yet when we are cooking.

I use a bulk propane tank with a Y splitter and two hoses. I can run the stove off of it and when the cooking is done, I hook up a pair of buddy heaters on really cold days.

The last day of last season, instead of the big stove I used a single burner screwed on top of a small propane bottle. Something must have happened to it since the last time I used it. I lit it and it turned literally into a flaming fireball inside of the boat with Beavertail blind erected. At this point I was thinking we were Darwin Award candidates, so I picked up the fireball and chucked it into the water.

What a show until it went out.

With all that bacon, does anybody know if you shoot a bird and cook it, if it counts as "in your possession"?

On a smaller scale, (layout boat) I am working on making a mounting tray to nest a portable stove in for hot soup. If you have a small boat and not much room, the new stoves by MSR and Jetboil are excellent. You can make hot soup, no hassle in less than 3 minutes.
