Here are a few tips to help you with your campfire cooking adventures:
- Use cast iron skillets for the best results
- Use the hot coals for your heat source to achieve a consistent temperature
- The same tongs and spatulas used for barbecuing work great for campfire cooking
- Cut a square piece of aluminum foil, place a potato cut into cubed pieces inside with a generous amount of butter, fold the foil around completely sealing up the potato & place directly on the hot coals. Let this sit for ten minutes or so and you have a campfire version of fried potatoes.
- In a pinch you can use a piece of aluminum foil to cook on. Lay the piece of aluminum foil over the grate, spray it with cooking spray and cook vegetables and other items that would fall through right on top of it. (Even pancakes and eggs can be cooked this way.)
- Try starting your fire off to the side of the cook area and moving the coals directly under the cooking surface (with a long stick to keep you from getting burned).
- Use wood that is completely dry in order to get your fire started quickly
- Save some money on matches by using fire starters.
- Save money on fire starters by making your own
- Dryer lint is an excellent fire starter. Save some in a gallon baggie for your camping trips.
- Cotton balls with petroleum jelly squished into them make good fire starters.
- Flat cotton swabs dipped in melted wax and dried also make great fire starters.
- As with any fire, make sure your campfire is never left unattended. Put it out before leaving your campsite.
Using these tips can help make your campfire cooking experiences more enjoyable for everyone involved.
- Any day in the outdoors is a good day
