    MKT gets a workout

    About 2 weeks ago we fed 140 Scouts at Ft Davis State Park in west Texas. We had everything from breakfast tacos to roasted pork loin to jambalaya to hamburgers and lots of other things in between. We fed 3 meals a day for 6 days. Couldn't have done it without the MKT. The 4th pic is what the...

    MEP-016D Stuck cylinder

    I just picked up a MEP-016D generator. Problem is, it will not turn over. I saw this unit running two years ago. It has been out in the elements since then without the air filter cover. Is it just a parts machine ( I have another 16D that runs great) or is there hope. I can pull on the rope and...

    MKT in Fundraiser

    SCSG-G4's field sanitation center is the perfect set up for cleaning up, unfortunately I usually don't have the option of hauling two trailers around, plus it's a lot of work for 2- 3 days of use. We did buy two more MKT's and eventually will set one up like Mikes' FSC, until then, we just use 3...

    MKT in Fundraiser

    I don't have any close up pictures, but I will get some as soon as we open her up again. Make sure you have plenty of help when you do use it. They are a lot of work.

    MKT in Fundraiser

    If you look at the first and last picture you can see the exhaust stack, it's got an angled top so the smoke goes out the side, plus we usaully hand a box fan on the opposite side blowing the smoke out the side. The stack would have to be really tall to exit through the roof. We have never had a...

    MKT in Fundraiser

    It's a great fundraising tool. As a Scoutmaster, fundraising is the bane of my existense, but, it must be done. Most of our boys don't have the funds for equipment, dues or camping fees, so fundraising is very important. We found that a lot of people respond to the MKT, it's something different...

    MKT 90 FIELD KITCHEN finds a Sucker to take her home!!!!

    We switched our intitial MKT over to propane a couple of years ago. We purchased it for our scout troop to use and I was a little apprehensive about our boys using pressurized diesel burners, so we made the switch. I spent about $400.00 plumbing the thing with valves, copper lines and burners...

    MKT in Fundraiser

    It's taken a couple of years to put everything together, all the griddles, covers, wiring, drink dispensers, utensils, etc but it's well stocked now and we are confident we can feed a whole lot of people out of it. It would be nice to have a decent size commercial fryer on it, but that's in the...

    MKT in Fundraiser

    Our Troop used our MKT for a fundraiser a couple of weeks ago. It's a History fair at a local school. It was a huge turnout and we sold out of Smoked brisket sandwiches and sausage wraps in about 3 hours. There is a pic of a sink we picked up. It's a dental field sink. It uses a foot pump and 2...

    Wow, a first

    Yep, it amazes me as well. Mike & Don from LOST IN THE BUSH are amazing guys. Selling sleeping bags is part of their business. We are just selling them for a fundraiser. When I realized they also has bags for sale (thanks for the PMs guys) I sent a PM to them apologizing for putting up a...

    M925 gun mount

    Thanks KK, It all seems to be there and it turns (not rusted or frozen). I have some business interests in the New Town area up there, just talked to a manager of mine and he said they were expecting snow tonight. Have fun with that...it's supposed to be 90 here tomorrow. Seriously, I appreciate...

    M925 gun mount

    I appreciate everyone's input. Although I have gotten wildly different opinions on value ($500 to $4500). Several of you thought we should keep the gun mount, given how we would use the truck I really don't see the benefit in keeping it versus offsetting the cost of the truck. We plan to use the...

    M925 gun mount

    So I have an opportunity to purchase this truck. I don't want or need the gun mount, if that is what it is. So I was wondering if there was any interest in the mount and possible value. Might try to offset the cost of the truck by selling the mount. Thanks for any feedback.

    Scout camp with MKT

    While this is not normally how we camp, we felt that having the boys cook themselves would take up a lot of their time, which would be better spent working on the different activities we had. We camped in groups of 10 boys so we had 10 groups, that would mean 10 different fires, 10 different...
