Campfire Cooking Tips Every Beginner Should Know
Cooking over a campfire is one of camping's greatest pleasures.
A few simple techniques make a huge difference.

Cast iron remains one of the best choices because it distributes heat evenly and lasts for decades.

Pre-cut vegetables and marinate meat before leaving.
This saves time at camp.

- Fire extinguisher (where appropriate)
near your cooking area.
