When cooking on a campfire the food is likely to have a high concentration of fat and carbohydrates as this is necessary for hiking and back packing. Quite often due to the weight carrying restrictions popular foods include instant soups, pastas, freeze-dried foods and food which has been pre-cooked and just needs warming up. |

Campfire cooking is without doubt the original form of cooking and there are various methods of using this type of heat. It can sometimes prove to be quite a difficult way as you do not really have a kitchen area and you need to mark out a suitable spot for your fire always taking care not to cause any unnecessary fire damage to the surrounding area. |
There are many different ways of cooking on a campfire: Boiling; Grilling; Roasting; Baking; Frying and using an oven. Boiling is probably the most used way whether it is simply making a brew or using the hot water for washing and cleaning. Roasting food on long skewers over the flames is a popular way to eat hot dogs or marshmallows. I think everyone has enjoyed Baked Potatoes that are wrapped in foil and left to cook in the embers of the fire. |

Using pots to cook your food over the fire can prove to be quite difficult unless the pot is well secured and preferably supported by metal struts. An easier way is to wait until the fire has stopped flaming and then to use a couple of logs to rest the pot on - replacing them as they are burnt. |
The firewoods which are generally used because of the flavour they impart to the food are: Mesquite Hickory Maple Pecan and Apple Charcoal does not give the same deep rich flavour to the food as the perfumed hardwood logs do, although it is more convenient to use but can be quite messy. |
