Campfire Cooking

- Skewers are used to cook food over the fire
- Campfire cooking has a history dating back to early nomadic cultures
- Heavy cast iron pots and pans are recommended
- Cooking methods used: Roasting, grilling, boiling, dutch oven cooking

Cooking over a campfire is a vital part of camping. Campfire cooking can mean constructing a grill over an open flame, using utensils like skewers to roast marshmallows or hot dogs, or burying a dutch oven in coals while your supper cooks away inside. Aluminum foil packets are a common way to use the heat of a fire to cook breakfast, lunch or dinner while on a camping trip.
Campfire Cooking Tips

Food cooked outdoors over an open flame can taste delicious, but cooking at a campsite can be difficult due to lack of sink, counter space and microwave. Plan simple meals and prepare ahead of time at home if possible. Where campfires are illegal, use a camp stove and where campfires are legal, make sure you have any necessary permits. Exercise caution around open flames and keep fats and oils out of the fire.
