Vacation "must have" accessories

[Henrik]

I love this thread! We sure are nerds, aren’t we?

I bring the fireboard and a few chunks of wood for smoking. Then I wing the rest. I like a challenge :-)
Sometimes it really is a challenge, getting some good Q out of a rusted out kettle or whatever is available.

Henrik ahhh, the cro magnon approach, nice!

I forgot the wood chunks in my post above, good call! I take a Stanley tool box that perfectly fits my gear, including chimney, and there's a couple handfuls of wood in there at all times.

Knives, salt, pepper, cooler, sharpening stone, Thermopen, skillet, corkscrew/bottle opener. Occasionally throw in a Weber Kettle.

Sweaty Paul we’ll call that the "Drivers pack" lol

We have a place in Panama City, FL we found on Airbnb a few years ago that we go to every June. Most everything we need is already there, including a coffee maker, but I always bring my Aeropress for coffee. Also, I bring a propane burner and 10 qt. pot for some of that fresh Gulf shrimp.

I also take my Aeropress if we are drivin'.

BBQRapper so that just says even the perfect place can be improved

BBQRapper thought about this some more...anyone who can improve on the perfect place gets an invite to therapy.....you’re in!

Air Conditioning and room service!

havent had a vacation in since 2010. With that said my vacation is when everyone else leaves the house. Then my kettles and cast iron are unsupervised so all is meat.

HouseHomey there’s no place like home, huh!

My own backyard is the place I love the most!

I always pack two knives - usually a utility blade of 5"-6" and my custom made butcher knife (by LT Wright Knives). A shaker full of salt, pepper and garlic. I usually bring some sort of oil. Next trip will include a dutch oven.
