Have him drop me a line if he is still thinking he might want it. <br /><br />I agree, nothing more simple than cooking over an open fire IF you got the time. The trick is getting people to slow down for long enough to cook them that MEAL! I remember on my visits to Australia, Europe and S. American that meals took HOURS to eat. Isn't that the way it should be?!?!?<br /><br />FYI, I mentioned your book in my "Christmas Gifts for Outdoorsman" a few weeks ago! Hope it drove some traffic your way! <br /><br />TC!Rabid Outdoorsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620678221540593118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495065447190191652.post-38926481519870646942012-10-26T10:10:18.962-04:002012-10-26T10:10:18.962-04:00Excellent!

The one I never understood was the campstove. Seems to me, that the whole reason we go camping is to simplify things, at least for a bit, and what's more simple than cooking on a wood fire? I can see some benefit to having the camp stove - like if it's raining, but for most of the time, it just seemed to take something out of the experience to not cook over an open fire ;). We'd always be the weirdos who took two hours to cook a meal, because all of our meals were cooked over an open fire ;). But that's part of camping, too, right? Slowing down and not needing to hurry through the day. Long meal preps are a great way to enjoy a slower life, I think.

We seem to have lost a connection with our food sources from the harvesting of he animal and all the way through to its preparation and cooking. For me, I always try and make time to cook over open flames . . . somethings are just worth the investment of time! Thanks for commenting!

Hickory is an all time favorite for steaks and ribs while cedar is great for salmon and trout! Its always fun to try new things!

Every now and then, I'll try something a bit more modern like an ultralight stove, and it just doesn't measure up. Flavor, the experience - you lose it when you skip cooking over the fire outside.Corey Beavershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07574309978787296642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495065447190191652.post-44304137850848244232012-10-22T11:53:13.030-04:002012-10-22T11:53:13.030-04:00Looks great Steve! :)Looks great Steve! :)cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516076315691432589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495065447190191652.post-22182352891519898542012-10-22T08:30:51.671-04:002012-10-22T08:30:51.671-04:00We cook over the open flame often, and there is no...We cook over the open flame often, and there is nothing more delicious than meals cooked this way! After long hikes, I like returning to the campsite for my hubby's babyback ribs (but I confess--he has the art; mine is devloping!). The campfire offers a delicious smoky flavor to all foods.
