Cooking on board

[fredflathead]

I have just viewed on YouTube people catching hairtail and then having a dinner cooked on board with a canister cooker, has anyone done and lived to tell how it is done.

By canister cooker do you mean one of these ?

I have used them in boats but can’t say i felt safe doing it , had a mate who had one catch fire while heating up lunch out at browns mountain - the whole lot went over the side of the boat and now lives in the murky depths 🤣🤣🤣

Done similar hundreds of times. We used to just put the cooker on the bait board, right at the back, out in the breeze,  ever had a drama. Sometimes we would cook sausages at home, then take them on the boat so they only need a minute in a pan to heat up, some pre buttered bread and you’re set.

I have used one on bait board at back of my 5.6 quinnie but I wouldn't  do it now unless Im pulled up against a bank.  If I want hot food on a night fish I have hot dogs.  I just keep frankfurts warm in a thermos full of hot water.  Ron

thanks for the replies,I think the frankfurts in the thermos is the way to go

If it was this video then it was me. 
No Hairtail but.... a memorable evening nevertheless  !
