With the mass produced and affordable Ford Motor Company’s Model T and Model A, Americans experienced a freedom to travel like never before. In the early 1920s, people started getting in their cars and out of the cities. People wanted to take off to explore the great United States and especially the golden West. This was before the establishment of motels along the roads, so people had to camp when they wanted to stop for the night. The invention of the Auto Kamp Kook Kit allowed travelers an easy way to cook their meals at their campsite. The stove started out with a single burner, and was advertised as allowing you to “cook anything you wanted!”
