WW2 American field kitchen
I have been offered a 1944 field kitchen unit, the set up is about 3 foot long two foot wide and 2 foot high it is new and all components are unused. Made by Chrysler I thought it would look good in my WC51. The unit consists of petrol powered burner tray and a clip off bain maree section with 6 aluminium containers for heating food. There are ladels and utensils included in the trays all new.
Are these kitchens a common item or are they hard to find? any other info out there on them?

I think that the square looking US cooking facility is called:
M-1937 army field range. I have some repro manuals/instructions for there for sale through Groucho Publishing There is quite a number of these availbale here in the Netherlands through Ries Groenewoud, who seems to buy them in France from Army disposal auctions. see his website for a photograph: http://www.milweb.net/go/groenwoud/ BR, Rob |

Just picked one of these units up from fellow mlu'er Jon Skagfeld.
It is the third one I've seen around these parts in the last year. One sold at John Adamiak's (late) auction a couple months ago for around $60 Canadian.

I got one of those from Warwick Lord a few years back, he bought a few from the Aussie army auctions at Moorebank. This one was made by Chrysler in 44, all unused, some of the tools and utensils had been sutituted for later ones, guess the knives may have had rust on them, kit was totally complete even with a photocopy of the TM. Here is a picture of all the components, hexagonal cardboard box contains the stacking chimney sections. Richard |

The same Kit
The Kitchen that you had aquired is the same as mine. I do spot a couple of differances with the utensils. Mine had a checklist within the box and all items are there bar a sharpening stone. All utensils are stored in canvas rolls and bags with pockets. I have sent images to Kieth Web as for the life of me I cant fet an image up on the Forum.
