campfire cooking
Flame-roasted meal preparation
Campfire cooking is preparing food over an open fire, typically outdoors while camping.
The term covers everything from roasting marshmallows on sticks to Dutch oven stews buried in coals.
We packed cast iron for campfire cooking on the trip.
The method requires different techniques than kitchen cooking—managing heat zones, dealing with smoke, and timing around unpredictable flames.
