Campfire Cooking Sizzles

You will find out there is a certain science to campfire cooking having the right temperature and a even bed of coals are the mot important element's.

This is a picture of our camping kitchen, we have two stoves and also use the fire to help speed things up or add a twist to a meal. You want to make sure you plan your meal so the food needs the most heat goes on first and so on.

Some fun idea(s) using aluminum foil are baked potatoes,corn on the cob and BBQ chicken.The point is have some fun and you might end up with a family recipe or two who knows.

Personally, I would never cook on the grates of a state park grill, who knows when it was cleaned.I recommend investing in a quality Campfire Cooking Grate to put over your campfire,trust me eggs and pancakes are out of this world over a open fire.

This last trip we took I cooked hot dogs on the campfire, I let both my kids try and they thought is was the coolest thing.

The taste of the hot dogs was unbelievable considering they were store brand, the smoked flavor was a nice change to a tired old favorite for lunch.

Remember different types of grills,stoves or fires cook at vary temperatures, So please work this into your meal plans or dinner will be in many courses tonight.

Many campers make the mistake of not cleaning all their gear after the meal,just be warned if you choose to do this the clean up in the morning will bemuch more difficult.

We have two wash basins for dirty our dishes, one with hot soapy water and one with cold clean water for risning this allows us to both soak and wash/rinse at the same time speeding things up so we can get back to your family vacation!

I thought I would show you what lunch looks like before the fire performs its magic and makes it a nice BBQ meal for the whole family, don't be afraid to use tin foil it helps keep things clean and makes clean up quick.
