4 Types of Cooking On A Campfire - Boil it, Bake it, Fry It, Grill It Over the fire. - Dan Wowak

[@cheswick617]

You left out roasting...like in an aluminum foil packet you make and put into or on the embers.

[@jacquelineclauson4891]

Aluminium puts poison into your food, I learnt this.

[@hezekiah5186]

He said primary cooking methods

[@renobailey8516]

i feel like kinda falls under baking cause the mechanics are similar

[@magnusvindaloo340]

Isn't "roasting" usually done like on a stick spinning? Like a rotisserie? Is "roasting" done in "packets"?

[@PleaseSeeThis]

Research cooking with aluminum foil . Doesn't sound too healthy for the brain.

[@dotty7789]

Thank you for this video! Super useful! I'm a city girl and am trying to learn the basics of camping and cooking over a fire.

Campfire cooking is absolutely the best

[@steveo13757]

You can tell this guys educated the way he speaks, keeping in simple, clear and concise without over complicating things making it easy to understand. I came here to learn how to cook a can of soup over a fire without being it explained to me like trying to solve an Algebra problem and this guy delivered. I just subscribed to the channel.

[@suecollins3246]

Yes, I heartily agree! Being clear and concise isn't actually an inborn skill. And a _lot_ of KZbin people just don't have it.

[@henrybattaglia1657]

You can always do a foil pack as well. This is an under-rated method, but very simple. Did it as a cub scout, and still doing it as an adult. Fun, easy, and brings back good memories.

[@Kukkakukko]

Tin foil is the best outdoors cooking utility right after a good stick thats used for moving, stirring, piercing your food and/or poking the embers in fireplace and picking leftovers from your teeth after you ate with it. Me, too, learned this as a scout cub and ever since whenever I cook outdoors I'm still hearing that elder scout's scolding and teaching me about the perfect campfire building and not feeding it too much but not too little :D Good memories

Cooking in aluminum foil is a horrible idea. Research the effects of aluminum leaching and it’s direct correlation with increased Alzheimer’s risk

[@MinimalistExplorerEDC]

Foil pack? Would that be to mainly boil food or could use to bake?

[@NatNotTheBug]

I am so excited to learn campfire skills, but besides that I just want to say that you are such a talented teacher! You explain everything so succinctly and clearly!

I just had a flashback to BSA Camp Hinds in Raymond Maine, earing my cooking merit badge and listening to the camp counselor on using each of these cooking methods. Fantastic refresher.

[@sueciviero3866]

Thank you for these tips. Once heard, it all makes so much sense. We aren't born with all the skills you have learned. I appreciate your teaching ability.

[@patcummins6036]

Interesting Dan that you didn’t touch on the Dutch Oven style of cooking. A little difficult if your hiking! Here in Australia the Dutch oven or camp oven as it is mostly known is probably the most popular method of campfire cooking. You can boil food, fry food, and bake with it. The downside is it’s bloody heavy being cast iron! I enjoy your posts and being “an old fart” I can never stop learning! Thank you.

[@anthonybarker2087]

I use a keyhole fire especially in cold weather. I have a constant source of coals to drag into my cooking area. No dying down required. Also the big fire will keep me warm

[@campingcookingtips]

Food cooked over an open fire is amazing

[@nathanvalentine8136]

I'm in the mood now for some grilled groundhog!

[@OFCbigduke613]

Foil wraps are great as well. Steam/roast

[@sandsock]

Fried\baked some calzones a couple days ago, with my picky eating nephew. That just loves to camp

[@hannahe.9220]

THANK YOU! I’m cooking on a campfire for the first time in a few days and most videos I watched were either way too complex or people literally sticking a pan straight into the flames, which didn’t seem right. This was perfect. Wish me luck!

[@harlankraft578]

Very nice video succinct and to the point. thanks for producing this video!

[@dereinzigwahreRichi]

Now this is what COOKING in the outdoors really means (imho), preparing food from real ingredients, not just boiling water and pouring it into some bag with dried stuff! Dan, thanks for the great video and for pointing out that you dont need any complicated stuff for this and it's actually easy. A good addition for anyone attempting to cook in the outdoors is a pair of heatproof gloves. Leather will do, some kind of Nomex or Kevlar (Aramides) is a bit better and easier to move in.

@@shouldhavenotshouldof2031 it went well! I got to start a fire using a fire starter that came on my knife, and maintained the fire enough to boil noodles, cook steak, and fry asparagus 🥰 it was a lot of fun!

I only need to take 1 deer this year to top off the freezer so I'm planning to spend a lot more time camping and cooking outdoors this fall / winter and really enjoyed the video. I just so happened to buy that UCO grill last year and the over trick gave me new ideas. Thanks!

[@paul6894]

Interesting video, cooking outside is a skill and it gets better with practice.

[@KnifeCrazzzzy]

That little flat pack grill is dope!

[@RickHaile]

I've cooked on a campfire many times. I'm not a backpacker so I'm not concerned about weight. I prefer to use cast iron cookware. Dutch Ovens are great for stew, Chile, and even peach cobbler for dessert!

You can also use an all metal stock pot as an oven. Slip a small bush craft grill inside and set it in the coals. A Rock will keep the lid on.

The sap burning was exactly the reason i started researching which wood is safe to cook over thanks!!!

[@genkiferal7178]

if i use pots and pans, pine (sap) should be fine, right? or does it give yucky soot that gums up bottom of cookware? I ask because pine is plentiful in some areas - and can't be used in woodstoves.

[@logiconabstractions6596]

IME, the main reason I prefer hardwood is that it makes better coals. They last longer and feels like they just hold more energy/are hotter. The flavor bit as well, though unsure if it actually matters for, say, tinfoil wraps.

Well what if all forests are mostly pine then... I guess you have to stack up on a lot of fire wood then.

A cast iron skillet and a camp dutch oven and the vagaries of the fire and its wood type and flames vs coals are greatly reduced.

When you say kindling the coals, you mean just adding wood to burning wood and not actual charcoal right?

[@montecristo1845]

Absolutely correct. When the wood burns down to smoldering and looks like little rocks glowing orange and gray it has become coals.
