    Does anyone have recommendations for a portable grill?

    Any recipes?

    What about "foil pouch" cooking using the engine's heat?

    I use a small propane grill, foil pouches
    Work great. To clean I use a small wire brush and a cast iron griddle
    Cook eggs bacon etc, good me
    A ribeye blue rare, asparagus, onions, mushrooms and a sweet potato.
    I cook outdoors almost daily weather permitting. It fits in my side box of western star which is very spacious.

    i would recommend electric hotplate, i use one, but i don't use it in a truck, my job is home daily. I use portable electric hot plate even at home though in my room so i can cook near my desk because i'm too lazy to walk to the kitchen to stir the food.

    one other perk is that there is reduced chances of fire. if you use one of those cookers that uses fuel cannisters it's extra costs and chances of injury.

    the brand i use for electric hot plate is 'cuisinart'.

    pocket rocket. it's a little stand that you can put on top of a fuel canister. it's ultra portable.
