During the 70’s in the days of gas fires
We used to use a knife In between the bars and grill plaques then stabbed a slice of bread onto it and toasted that way.
If you can do it this way without burning you can cook a slice of toast on almost anything lol.

Thanks everyone, I tried the ridge monkey but kept burning the toast, maybe needed to turn the heat down a bit, but I've gone for the Ibili camping toaster, which shoud be here today, I'll let you know how I get on..

That toast looks good, and your egg poaching skills look excellent 👌🏻

Just use a ridge monkey to toast the bread. Once toasted, butter and off you go. Both the pics below are by using the RM compact toaster on the bank in France last September.

Poached eggs on toast


Full English with toast ( last couple of days so ran out of bacon and on the bacon grill)

Someone last year suggested the Ibili camping toaster. On the strength of that, I bought the Go Systems version which looks identical. Makes lovely toast 👍.

I've got one of those can be a bit hit and miss. To the OP you could just use a sandwich skillet (Ridgemonkey ) or something simular. There also the ones where the bread sits at an angle can do a few slices at a time. Not sure what there like mind.

This one, Chris. You need to do it in two goes or it can burn.
