We did a four and a half day journey around Capitol Reef National Park in Utah for Thanksgiving. While this included a nice campground there with heated bathrooms we also did some interesting off-roading and camped in the San Rafael Swell, a favorite rock structure west of Hanksville. A storm a few days before turned the terrain into stick clay muck so we stayed in campgrounds. Also, Katya needed a big table and a second fire ring for her creation. We aren’t setup for doing that at remote sites.

Learn 5 meals from Katya Preston’s gourmet Solo Stove cooking on overlanding trips in the spring of 2024 to July 4th 2024. She is inspired by celebrity wood fire cooking chef Francis Mallmann. The scenes for this video are in disbursed camping sites in Colorado and Utah. Some remote disbursed sites have some level of development by the Forest Service or BLM. While Katya rejects fire rings, large tables and toilets are nice to have available.

Katya will show you how to BBQ herbs and turn them into salsa for her rack of lamb dinner, along with BBQ’ing a rack of lamb on a Solo Stove. Her goal was to have both low and high heat at the same time on one Solo Stove, a celebrity chef Francis Mallmann trick. Did she achieve it? Watch and find out!
