When you only have limited supplies of wood, or wood that will not form coals that will hold their heat for long, then a grilled meal is your best choice. Just remember that you should always avoid cooking on the naked flame - all open fire cooking is best done on hots coals. Allow the flames to die down and the wood will start to create hot coals. Then just place the pot amongst the coals. Add or remove coals to achieve the desired temperature. Note - more heat is generated by coals than flame so take care. If you do prefer to
cook using the naked flame, you need to elevate the food above the flame using a tripod.
Camp Ovens are extremely versatile and most experienced campers wouldn't go anywhere without one. From boiling water to
cook shellfish in, to slow cooked casseroles, roasts, soups, risottos, bread, even lasagnes, you could get by with just this one pot. Just about any recipe you have at
home can be adapted to cooking in
camp oven, with curries and casseroles being particularly easy.
