How To Cook Over A Campfire?

There is definitely an art to cooking over an open fire. There are two essential tools when cooking over an open fire that cannot be forgotten on the next camp out.

Campfire grills are the most important tool used when cooking over an open fire. They are inexpensive, lightweight, and easy to set up. Be sure to wrap the grill in a plastic trash bag before throwing it in the trunk as they tend to get dirty.

Tripod Grills- This grill is the absolute best in regards to height adjustment and working with the inconsistency of a campfire flame. Beware of falling food as they tend to move quite a bit when turning those juicy steaks or adding items.

Folding Grills- These are the least expensive and easiest to set up of the three. If there is no fire ring where you are camping, there could be a problem building a big enough fire underneath the grill to get the desired consistency when cooking.

Stake Grills- Stake grills are usually very durable, easy to set up and adjust in height for that perfect distance between food and flame. To set up, drive the grill stake next to your fire placement. This might not be the best choice when camping in the Rockies or the Ozarks though. It’s tough to drive a stake through rock.

The other essential tool when cooking over an open fire is aluminum foil. This handy little piece of gear has endless uses.

Wrap baked potatoes with butter and salt in foil and place them directly onto the coals. Be careful not to get near the flame to prevent scorching.

Cut up some veggies, add butter and seasoning, and place them in a foil pouch to cook on the grill. Be sure to turn the pouch every 5-10 minutes to prevent burning. They will be perfect.

Cooking and a storm comes blowing in? Use the foil as a tent to prevent the food from getting soggy and the fire from going out. This works like a charm.

These two tools will allow for great cooking and the ability for a lot of variety when camping out.
