Cooking over the fire

Cooking over the open fire goes with camping.  Lots of ways to do it, you've got to find what works for you.

You can see in the picture that Husband is cooking the Hearty Breakfast (yeah, it's the same picture because that's how I work) on our trip to Wilson State Park.  Breakfast is cooking in a cast iron dutch oven - don't forget your liners for easy clean up, like these.

Husband put the dutch oven on our own grill over the fire.  Some camp fire rings at some campgrounds have some sort of grill that you can lower down over the fire.  The fire ring in this picture is standard at most Michigan state parks (definitely not at Grand Haven state park, you don't get a fire ring there at all).  If we're planning on cooking over the fire, we make sure to bring our own grill.

The grill we have has a single stake to put your food right over the fire.  You can swivel it out to check and adjust your food so you don't scorch yourself.  You can adjust the height for optimal cooking.  I checked several camping sites trying to find our exact grill and this was the closest to the exact grill we have.  It works for us.

What do you like to use to grill over the open fire?
