I am sure you will agree that we go camping to get away from it all and to revisit nature and we are often prepared to forego the luxuries we have in our modern day living. But the one luxury we all wish to have on fresh morning is the ability to make some nice fresh toast.
This can be difficult to achieve though, traditional camp stoves seldom have a decent grill. So this begs the question what can you do to overcome this problem. Well if you are the kind of camper that goes all out and has an electric hook-up then take a domestic toaster with you. If you have the room to take it in your car then this is a must in my view. It will provide perfect toast and make you the envy of your fellow campers at the campsite. If the thought of this is cheating then there are many camping toasters on the market.
Popular variations include a stainless steel once slice toaster which you hold over the top of your grill. The problem with this method is if you have a family of four and you all want two slices of toast for breakfast, then it will take you a very long time to cook everybody's.
You will hear some campers say that you cannot beat a toasting fork, it can even be something as crude as a stick carved from a nearby tree, where you impale it and hold over the campfire. You may find this variation a bit of a stone-age approach but it is very effective.
My most modern and effective method comes from purchasing a simple toast grill part for my two burner stove. Pretty much all two burner stoves offer this accessory whereby you have some prongs running up from the grill in a pyramid shape which allows you to toast up to four slice of bread at a time. Okay it may not toast it perfectly, but for larger families this for me is the ideal compromise.
