The closest I ever got to an M59 field range was eating food cooked on one. My military field feeding equipment collection. The converted M1937 fire units are in the foreground. Nowadays I enjoy cooking, especially outdoor cooking. Pair that with the fact that I am a military surplus aficionado.
Surplus equipment is well built, takes a good deal of punishment and lasts forever.
Minn. Retired Army National Guard First Sgt. Bob Fox owns the store. I walked into his store earlier this year and there sat this huge silver thing with a number of pots and serving utensils surrounding it. After he explained what it was to me, I remembered seeing them in the field while in the army. After tossing it back and forth for a few weeks, I decided it would be worth the investment.
