I need to get a portable cooking system for my truck. Some sort of mini propane or butane cook top, a cast iron pan, and a water jug for washing it off, and some way to store it all. Ideas? I want to be able to cook my lunches out here in the field. I'm sick of fast food
Here's the cheap start:
Amazon.com : Camping Hiking Outdoor Cookware Set – 20 oz / 600ml or 27 oz / 800ml Stainless Steel Cooking Cup Pot with Vented Lid Folding Handles Measurement Marks : Sports & Outdoors

I've heard good things about the BRS stove, only bad I've heard is their not as tough as MSR. If you're not backpacking with it you oughtta be fine. Grab a can of gas at BPS, Academy, prob even Wall World.
This and the Stainless pot will get you boiled water, or, if you're careful, you can heat up some canned chili, stew, menudo, whatever. "Slow cooking" is not the strong suit of these, but they will work.
Having a dehydrated meal in a ziplock FREEZER bag is better. Boil water, add to freezer bag, wait 10-15 min, you're GTG.
Idahoan potatoes, Knorr sides - look in the grocery where they sell noodles, spaghetti sauce, etc.
I dehydrate cooked ground deer with veggies, seasoning, then add to a small packet of Ramen or Idahoan potatoes - makes a very filling meal, easy, cheap.
