I wanted to share a camping dinner with Luke. Since he loves mac and cheese and fresh caught trout, I decided to combine the two. I even made the mac and cheese completely from scratch!
I set up the G2 5" Firebox Stove with the NEW Sumo wide stance base to increase stability for a two burner stove, set up using hangover sticks and side gas burner brackets.

AI GeneratedThe speaker demonstrates how to prepare a homemade macaroni and cheese paired with trout using a five-inch firebox with a sumo system. Due to fire restrictions, gas burners are used to create a two-burner stove setup for boiling pasta and frying fish. The meal concludes with a tasting session by the lake, highlighting the unique pairing of creamy pasta and tender trout.
I'm planning on making macaroni and cheese but homemade style.
Here I have the five inch firebox with the sumo system. I'm going to set this up as a two burner
stove. So we'll start off by opening up the firebox and putting the sumo legs on.
I'm going to set this side up for boiling and this side up for using the fry pan.
So I'm going to set this up in the second position down with the gas burner. We are
still in fire restrictions right now so I'll be using gas burners.
On this side we're going to set the gas burner up on this top position and then we're going to
use the high low fire sticks to create a level surface with the top of the firebox. Use the
fire sticks in their position and then now we have a position for our fry pan. Let's put a
diffuser plate on this one. I'm going to be melting some butter first thing so I can make some roux.
Let's go ahead and add our noodles. I have enough here for both Luke and I so
I'm going to add about half of it. Let's start making our roux. We don't want to overcook it
maybe just to a golden brown. Okay I think this roux is ready to come off the heat
because I'm actually going to make my sauce in my pot. I'm going to turn this off then I'm going
to drain my noodles. A little bit of cooking is not going to hurt them but this is going to be
a really low temperature. I can't believe how many noodles I just cooked. And then what I'm going to
do is put my trout on top of my noodles and then I'm going to cover it up. I want my sauce to be
cooking over a softer heat so I'm going to go ahead and move this burner down. I think I'm just
going to go all the way down to that third level and I'm going to put the heat diffuser plate on
and then we'll put these hangover fire sticks back into their position.
We'll just keep that on a low heat and then put a little bit of cream in just to make it nice and
rich. Some kosher salt and we'll put the lid on and let that heat up. Yeah that's pretty hot.
I'm just going to try to turn this down a little bit more. It's already quite low with my little
modified cheese grater. The way this is intended to work is the cheese just kind of falls
into your hand. Nice, lots of cheese. Here you go. Some of the cheese. Good girl. The milk's getting
pretty hot. I think I can go ahead and add some of our roux. Let it start melting.
The roux has melted into it so let's go ahead and add our cheese.
Let that melt to eat off of. So let's go ahead and put some of our macaronis on.
We've got some heat going on under it and I think that's plenty of food for me.
Cheese sauce which has thickened up very nicely. It's got all that cheese all melted into it now.
Put our cream sauce on. Wow look at that. Holy smokes.
I think that is plenty.
Get some pepper going. That's staying hot because I have that burner is still on so that plate is
nice and hot. We'll go ahead and pull these pull the meat off the bones.
Let's see if we can get this side to cooperate as well. Very nice.
And then we will just lift this whole skeleton up and off of all that meat.
Go ahead and transfer onto our mac and cheese.
Just like that. Oh beautiful. A little bit more salt and pepper on my trout.
Then I have a lemon. Carefully put lemon right on my trout.
And then look how tender that trout is. Cooked perfectly and when it's cooked like this it really
just melts in your mouth. Let's see if it pairs well. Mac and cheese and trout. That is delicious.
You know what I've had trout with cheesy potatoes and that was really good. So I figured this would
be good as well. Oh yeah that is very good. This is the most unique way I have ever eaten my trout.
Trout with homemade macaroni and cheese. That is delicious.
I'm gonna walk out and see if I can find a view of the lake and eat my dinner.
