You Can Almost Smell the Bacon!

April 15 2009 by Darrin.

Nothing sounds better than breakfast when you’re out camping in the wild, the bacon sizzling, the coffee brewing…  That used to happen on a white-gas Coleman stove, but now it happens on a stainless steel Force 10 thermocoupled marine range, built into a set of custom cherry cabinets.  It might not sound as romantic, but it’s pretty refined and it sure tastes as good in the bush.

As of tonight, the galley cabinets are installed.  The long wall cabinet was pre-wired before it was hung.  I like to use a lot of cable clamps to keep everything organized.  That keeps the potential for electrical trouble at a minimum, and facilitates repairs if they’re needed.  Here’s the galley wall cabinet being prepared and a shot of what you’ll typically find underneath the floor panels of the wall cabinets…

This is the same cabinet, in place on the wall and powered up for a simple lighting test…

And the complete set of galley cabinets installed…

One last comment: Rain!  We don’t get it much, but when we do it really changes the landscape.  The road to the shop looked mystical this afternoon, as the precip fell and the clouds sat low on the mountain…
