How do you like to cook your camp meal?

[jerry]

We cook on the fire as much as possible.
Me & my daughter making a stick meal. Put a hot dog on the stick and wrap it with one of those canned biscuits.

We like the dutch oven too. Just mix some sausage, eggs and taters all together, viola.

We like premade stuff we make at home and freeze. It helps with the ice in the cooler & you throw it on the coals when time to cook. Works great.
Foregot the ocassional fish fry Dad does it best.

I love to get frozen corn on the cob if fresh isn't reasonable wrap it tin foil put it directly in the fire. I love it. We usually rig up some mini grill, and cook burgers.


If we are at the beach camping, we carry the colman stove and fry fish and chips.

Don't forget S'mores. yum!

For the best flavor I like cooking on an open fire. Since we got the camper and bought a mini propane grill we tend to use that more because it can cook faster with more even heat and I don't have to build a fire and wait for it to burn down to cook, I just light the grill and we are good to go. I have never gotten a chance to be around any dutch oven cooking but I would like to get one and give it a try!

[ezearln]

We (meaning I)B prefer open fire cooking however in many instances we are limited to time and regulation as to where and when we can do that, we always carry a walkabout BBQ grill with us that I carry lump charcoal for so that gets used alot, and of course we have the chuckwagon pit at our place at the Lake along with NOW 2 count em 2 smokers! And one of them smokers is HUGE!

[Dallas]

I usually let my Boy Scouts do the cooking. Sometimes I eat well and sometimes not.

I hope you bring some beef jerky for when the eat'n isn't so good!

[jerry]

We cooked some mighty fine meals as well as some slop in the scouts. Hide that beef jerky as mentioned Dallas. The adaults will foregive you.

On the other hand, where do ya think I learned all those little tricks I'm showing my baby girl.

[SPOCAHP ANAR]

Hobo Meal in foil. HMMMM good!

You ought to try making your own jerky.

[damage855]

Nothing like possom over an open flame. umm umm finger licking good.

[Burke]

Do you mean you slightly inebriated, or the meal slightly inebriated, Burke? Or both?

Pollo Borracho (drunken chicken) always seems to taste better in a dutch oven...

[ezearln]

Prefer my drunken yard bird slow roasted in a smoker with a steam can in the smoker my self

[JohnMcD348]

When I go, I take ALL my cast iron with me. I have a steel grate that I can use over the coals for grillin a good steak or just setting the cookware over. I do have a couple of old coleman stoves that, at least one, go with me and I use them for some of the other side cooking or just making hot water.

[Big Dog]

Y'all make it sound mighty good! My camp cookery usually involves Mountain House with two cups of water in a canteen cup, over an esbit stove. Ah, simplicity . . .

[khahn79]

Cast iron skillet or a grill over the camp fire, usually. However we do take the coleman stove to fix breakfast on those mornings when the kids are too antsy to hit the hiking trails to wait for a fire. (And mommy's too antsy for her morning cup 'o joe!)

LOL. That brings back a lot of memories of hunting camp!!! Throw whatever you have for meat and veggies in tin foil and toss it in the coals for awhile. Those were some of the best meals I ever ate!!!

[SueMe]

I like the open wood campfire to cook on. Steak, Corn and potato on the fire. Oh!no now I'm hungary. Dessert is a smores with burnt marmallows, grahmn crackers, and chocolate.

[LiveToShoot]

Over an open flame, or bed of coals, depending what the campfire meal is.

I like the taste of a fire cooked steak, or a foil pack meal cooked in a bed of coals.

Dutch oven cooking is a favorite too. A friend brought us over a dutch oven full of BBQ ribs a couple of weeks ago, really spoiled us with that one.

[Full MeTal Jack]

Sometimes I'll bring wood with me like Live Oak, Pecan or Mesquite.
Grill a ribeye steak over wood coals. Cut a big potato 1/4" slabs. Coat with olive oil and grill turning frequently and basting with butter/oil flavored with red pepper and garlic. Slice zuccinnee and grill also.
Lunch: Cheapo sandwich and apple with a cold beer or two or three..............
Breakfast: Of course bacon and eggs is always a favorite. Secondly, beer pancakes. Add beer instead of water. Add diced up apple and crushed pecans. To make pancakes fluffier mix in a packet of instant oatmeal.
Ah yes! Cooking fresh caught fish at camp in nonstick skillet
Ive done the mountain house numerous times but it you have the time, for me I like to fuss about cooking over an open camp fire and down a few Bud Lites before dinner is ready.

My campout shopping list starts this way:
beer, beer and more beer

[ArkansasHunter]

Why I just stop by KFC and buy a barrell of chicken and all the fix'ins because it's gotton to risky to build fires in the great outdoors now...Unless theres been plenty of rain fall.
