Kitchen, field, trailer mounted, TFK250 Now gone to a new home.1/2018

All those portable kitchens are just so cool!

I wish I still had my farm. It would be great for a catfish cookout, or cutting up a Black Angus.

I have been using it for several years now and one thing I do is the Lenexa KS chili challenge, not a good picture of the trailer but of me cooking on it a couple of years ago. I am on the posters this year and the sign up page. View attachment 522148

Please make sure that someone takes a few pictures of this being used at the competition. This trailer is awesome.

You do CASI you do it right!- Have you made it to Terlingua? I bet they would marvel at the uniqueness of this.

 

[MWMULES]

Nope never made it out of Lenexa, I make green out of chili's no tomatoes are injured in mine! Entered it in CASI for years before I read the rules, #1 dark red color..... NOT. Have won peoples choice several times. Here are some past years pictures.

Great pictures of the trailer. I saw one years ago at the WV surplus lot where someone must have ordered one . The staff have told my cousin they sometimes order something just to find out what an item looks like. Your tax dollars at work?

 

[MWMULES]

We only used the rear small friers for the chili and the oven for corn bread and sweet rolls. The big ones were used for dry storage and cooler for liquids

very nice looking cooking trailer. the next generation.. no wonder the mkt is history now

 

[Recovry4x4]

The trailer has a Renaultish look to it. Hey, bring some green chili to "The Rally" next year. I can warm it up!

Actually, it's mainly an upgrade of the German WWII kitchen trailer. Our MKT was an odd duck, built to feed 250-300 troops, when most companies are 125-150 troops and battalions are 500-600. It's true that they used two MKT's together for a battalion, but then they developed the CK (containerized kitchen) with it's own refrigerator, air conditioning and a generator (and solid walls). That's why so many MKT's are being retired!

I have run out of storage space and don't want to keep it outside so, it is up for sale https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?173109-Seabee-TFK-250-Tactical-Field-Kitchen-trailer

Yesterday I got word that a friend was towing a military trailer home from Kansas and needed some roadside assistance at the VT/NY state line. When I was told it was a German kitchen trailer from the Navy I figured it had to be the one mwmules was selling.
You definitely notice this thing following you going down the road in a one ton.


So now it's in my yard where it will get new tires and some wiring repairs at the least.

 

[MWMULES]

Yep It all went bad when he got close to VT, blew a tire than his Land Rover hitch broke just inside the state line, in a parking lot!! I am wondering if maybe the RR safety chain got in a bind and broke the casting of the hitch? When I hauled it with my M818 & didn't know it was there but with my 3500 Chevy you knew there was something back there. Surprised the cover made the cover made the trip! Happy it went to a good home and glad he has you as a friend.

Have you tried contacting Karcher? They had a sales office in the US, or you could contact the German office. Don't know anything about German surplus sales, but you could do some Google searches.

 

[MWMULES]

Try Karcher US, but last time i tried,5 years ago Germany was the place to get them. A private company over there was making them in colors for Fire Departments and other responders. Sorry, no I no longer have the info.
