Capt. James H. Callahan Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Salty Sarah and I just booked our second trip to Antigua. One of its charms is its lack of deveopment......no Walmarts, Walgreens, CVS's etc. Only fast food place one the island is a KFC in St. Johns. DW booked this "eco cottage"........fancy word for a cabin in the woods. Suits the heck outta me, we'll see how she does there for a week. Anyway, I get this real good idea to buy an Old Smokey http://oldsmokey.com/Products/OSCG/14oldsmokey.html and have it shipped over there so I'd have a good grill to cook on for a week. Now the bad news. USPS wants $148 to ship it. UPS wants $175. I guess I'll chalk it up to one of those ideas that looked good on paper but didn't work. I bet we'll make out. I can eat canned beans for a week in Antigua. https://www.google.com/search?q=antigua+photos&client=firefox-a&hs=cqf&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=wljnUYa6Gs_lqAHF34HQDQ&ved=0CC0QsAQ&biw=1236&bih=555#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=3fjceo_tQ3PMHM%3A%3BTKCYMw0rT5aXLM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fantigua-guide.info%252Fmedia%252Fphotologue%252Fphotos%252Fcache%252Fplid_3002_Beach_plid_3002_ii_ant%2525202%252520Antigua_article_full_2.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fantigua-guide.info%252Fweather%252Ffebruary%252F%3B561%3B263 JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Take a pocket knife and some wire and go all McGyver and build one while you're there. Sarah will be so impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Brules Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Rent or borrow on when you get there. Heck, the "cabin" probably has one already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 I'm bettin' I can find something better than that! Did last time. There's supposed to be a Caribbean coal pot to cook on.http://www.google.com/search?q=caribbean+coal+pot&rlz=1T4ACEW_enUS366US372&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=9j3pUa_aPIbq8gTJ74HoBQ&ved=0CEsQsAQ&biw=1600&bih=750#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=cXZ2UtrciNVULM%3A%3Bs6g9Sp3NM-UhyM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.cruciancontessa.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2012%252F04%252FIMG_1905-1024x768.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.cruciancontessa.com%252F2012%252F04%252F18%252Fwhim-great-house-museum%252F%3B1024%3B768 Looks like a cross between wok and a hibachi. Better than nothing I suppose. Was hoping for a better cooker but guess we'll make do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
