Outdoor Storage Essentials

Sharing a meal outdoor while you are camping with friends and family offers a great opportunity for connection. Surrounded by nature and away from everyday distractions, you can enjoy the moment, savour the flavours on your plate, and relax with others. Enjoying your food is the easy part – but outdoor cooking is sometimes considered difficult. Whether it’s a matter of space, a key utensil you've left behind, a big clean-up or a disorganized kitchen it’s easy to see why camp cooking could be seen a challenge.

With Snow Peak’s Iron Grill Table system, you can make outdoor cooking more manageable, and enjoy being the 'camp chef'. The modular table system can be customised exactly how you would like it, so you can prepare, cook and clean up in a set up you can enjoy being in.

A Kitchen Designed By You 

The beauty of IGT lies in being fully customisable. Whether you prefer a simple standing table setup or a full wraparound cooking area with an integrated dining table – the IGT system can do it all. Start by selecting your preferred IGT Frame and chosen Leg heights then add your BBQ box or Takibi Fire & Grill and extensions.

Less Clutter = Less Stress 

The IGT system offers plenty of storage solutions. Set up your system so that each utensil, cooking set or tool has its place, allowing you to focus on creating your meals, rather than searching for a missing item.

Find innovative shelving options like the Hanging Shelf, or even Stainless Kitchen Table. Inserts like the Stainless Half Unit Box, Mesh Tray and Waterproof Unit Gear Bag, offer additional space within your frame.  

For those looking to enhance their worktop even more, the Tabletop Architect System is a must-have, adding simple, beautifully-designed solutions for in-reach utensils and ingredients - or creating your own bespoke lighting setup

Build a Social Cooking & Dining Space 

Campers often gather near the food at the campsite and you can be the centre of the event by integrating your cooking and dining area. Use IGT Height Adjusters and Bamboo Table Extensions. Or, take things one step further and create a communal cooking area, where all campers circle the table, each adding meat or veggies to the BBQ box or Takibi Fire & Grill.

Choose the Right Add-Ons to stay organised 

Once you have your kitchen setup sorted out, make sure you can keep it clean. Every kitchen must have a rubbish bin and you can use a waterproof gear bag as an ideal washing up bowl. For additional storage, consider the Mesh Tray, which offers the perfect place to dry and store dishware. Or, try one of the Stacking Shelf Containers for an elegant solution to stacking your camping gear in your car and carrying to your tent.

All in all camp cooking doesn't have to be a stressful experience. Instead with the proper gear and your own choice of set up, you can truly enjoy the process of creating a delicious meal and sharing it with friends and family under the open sky.
