Here is my first attempt at a chuck box. I tested it last month n my week long moab trip and it worked flawlessly. It cost me $16, took from 9pm-3am (that included a quick wal-mart run) and a cold 6 pack. I was really suprised at how it turned out and even more suprised that it worked as well as it did.
I basically just got out all my cooking gear and started building around it. Pretty much an eyeball job, with a staple gun, circular saw, drill and basic knowledge anyone could do it. I even impressed my brother! (if you knew my brother the woodshop genius, you would be psyched too lol)
And now some pics:
Here it is closed. We had to sticker it up ofcourse.
Opened up with everything in place. It holds: propane stove, 3 propane cans, plates, mugs, plastic forks and knives, pots, pans, towels, soap, scrubber, salt, pepper, tabasco's, random seasonings, chefs headlamp, etc.
The top is just the right size to hold the stove and propane and sets it at just the right height when put on a camp table. With it open, all of the coking supplies are readily available and strapped in with bungees.
In the future i would like to add a false top that hinges from the sides and would fold out to rest on the open doors. This would provide a little bit of "counter space" if you will lol.
So what do you think?
