Kitchen Furnishings

The kitchen will have to have a good stove large enough to hold two or
three large boilers at one time. If there is plumbing and a hot water
boiler, either the stove can be furnished with a hot water back, which
is not desirable, for the fire need not be kept all day when wood is
used, but hot water is needed at all times, or a Standard Oil kerosene
heater can be installed. Without plumbing, a stove with a hot water tank
is desirable. If this is impossible a large boiler must be kept filled
with water on the top of the stove.

An army range, set on a concrete base, gives the greatest satisfaction
in a large camp. The ovens are large, an important point, and the top of
the stove large enough to care for all necessary pots and kettles. When
buying a stove for camp use make sure that it is made for the kind of
fuel which will be used in it.

The kitchen sink should be conveniently placed and large enough to hold
a large dish pan. Again if there is no plumbing a long table for dish
pans, draining pans, etc., should be provided.

Other tables, benches, shelves and a wood box are necessary.

Tables and benches are necessary in every camp. The more simple they are
the better. Tables made of pine boards, and tops covered with white oil
cloth are very serviceable, or better, tables with planed tops can be
used. Table tops and rests are feasible also. Benches can be made in
various ways but should be firm and of the right height. Chairs are not
really a camp necessity and on the whole could well be left out of the
list of camp furniture.

Lanterns

Every camp, large or small, needs lanterns. Lamps are not advised as a
general rule. There should be enough to have sufficient light in the
mess hall, in the kitchen, at least one in the wash house, one at each
latrine, and for stormy and very dark nights one for every two tents,
or group of tents. The tent lanterns can be hung on the tent posts
outside of the tents which method will prevent mosquitoes from being
attracted inside. Latrine lights should burn all night and it is
advisable to leave one burning by the mess hall in case of emergency.
Never allow children to bring candles into camp. Flash lights are a
convenience and harmless.
