Title: Cooking at the camp site
Post by: Happy Hybrid on Jun 16, 2022, 08:44 PM
Been lurking on the forum for the past couple of weeks. Some people seem interested in the site forward again. I thought I would try something easy to see what kind of participation we get with some polls.

I Can't say we always cook one way but I love using my Dutch Ovens and a good DO recipe.

I think we end up cooking in the camper quite a bit. We don't take a grill with us and sometimes we will roast weenies or make smores. My wife is not a fan of the campfire smoke following her around and smelling like smoke.

I wish I could make more than one selection. We tend to do a combination of camper and grill although we try to do as much on the grill as possible.

JoseInLA, I don't blame your wife, I don't like getting the smoke all over me either.

I feel like we do multiple ways of cooking. This past weekend we did a 4# pork roast in the crockpot. 2 envelopes of onion soup mix, cup of water and let it cook all day on low. Shred it about an hour before eating. We put it on a bun with cheese or BBQ sauce, or just a pile on a plate with some sauce.
Another favorite is foil pack shrimp and veggies, with a heavy dose of Old Bay seasoning.
Kabobs is one more. Can't go wrong with them. Chicken, steak or pork cubed and marinated beforehand. Add fav veggies, skewer and grill. Soak the sticks first to keep them from burning.
And I had to come back with this one. For Breakfast we use store brand cinnamon rolls and cook them into pancakes. Drop them on a flat top, let them slightly brown then flip and squish down with a spatula. Keep flipping and squishing as they cook.

I like cooking over a campfire, I have great memories of camping when I was a kid and cooking over the fire. These days it seems like half the time you can't even have a campfire.

This one is difficult because there is no one way we would normally cook. It depends on where we go, environmental conditions, restrictions, what we want to cook, as well as a number of other factors. I think the question should have been what is your favorite way to cook. We like the campfire, I like the smell of the campfire. The family favorites are roasting weenies, Mountain/hobo pies, marshmallows (smores).

We have one of those Coleman Roadtrip grills, we use that most of the time.
