RE: What are your campfire cooking essentials?
to add to above
- heavy leather gloves or "ove glove"
- adjustable pole mounted grate (like Cabela's Adjust-a-Grate) and wire brush
- meat hook/flipper
- good GOOD cooking wood (oak, hickory, mesquite, apple) or hardwood lump charcoal
- heavy foil & disposable aluminum holding/serving pans
We camp often with a group and I and a friend do breakfasts and evening meal cooks for the group. We both somewhat aspire to be like Ken Rollins when we retire.
Sounds like a great time. Maybe we'll meet each other one day in a campground.
You reminded me and I forgot to mention the lid lifter and the welder's gloves I carry.

What are your campfire cooking essentials?
As an RVer who cooks on a campfire what do you consider as the essentials in your kit?
For me it might vary depending on the menu and how many I'm feeding.
When we're traveling and not entertaining the bare minimum is a griddle, a 12 inch DO, cooking oil, a fireproof spatula, a fireproof spoon and charcoal.

As I said, feel free to post your own videos and recipes. No projection, just letting you know we are hobbyists here and your posts have been less than appreciative of other styles and preferences.

RE: Fool Proof Prime Rib
Good thing about rare is you can always get it to temp in a pan. And gravy is subjective, especially if your Italian. Not all go by the freanch culinary institute definitions.
Oh jeezz, you've opened that (tomato) can of worms. ;)
LOLOL.

For the Kids: Hobo Pouches, Hobo Packs, Foil Packet Dinners
A number of good videos on how to do these and it's a great one for getting the kids and grandkids involved in cooking on a campfire. Most of us who learned young have great memories and it's a great way to build confidence in the young.

RE: Dutch Oven Sweet Biscuits (Scones)
Propchef, good for you. If that makes you happy go for it. Feel free to post recipes or links to your videos if that is your preference.
You seem to be antagonistic toward other videos, styles or preferences on this forum. We're all just RVers with a cooking hobby here.
If that bothers you or in any way makes you feel that you are superior or that we are inferior, this might not be the place to hang out. Putting down other videos or styles is not the way to encourage others to take up dutch oven camp cooking. On this forum we respect others.
You're projecting. I offered an alternative, you jumped on me. I haven't antagonized anyone, simply offered alternatives. If that offends you, I can't stop that.
You seem to think you're the only one who can post here, so I'll leave it to you. Enjoy.
As I said, feel free to post your own videos and recipes. No projection, just letting you know we are hobbyists here and your posts have been less than appreciative of other styles and preferences.

Found his recipe for using the Pie Pan Dutch Oven.

Alternatively this recipe can also be wrapped up in a hobo pouch of aluminum foil and baked.

RE: Dutch Oven Italian Style Chicken Thighs
Thanks for letting me know. I fixed the link in the OP so it should open now.
This recipe can be made to serve as many as needed. All you need to do is run more dutch ovens. You can feed a group of 24 with two 14 inchers.

Making a Pie Pan Dutch Oven
Our twin grandsons will be 11 this year. This looks like a good project for them when they come to camp with us this summer to encourage them to get into cooking over a campfire.

RE: Fool Proof Prime Rib
I do get that. My mom still swares by her 1950s ellecteic oven, lol.
I think everyone may have developed their own methods based on how their oven acts.
You're right about the gravy. French isn't the only way to go. Whenever I hear a chef act like they know everything and say other chefs don't I quickly tune them out. Everyone has different tastes. Mom's cooking creates a powerful emotional attachment to flavors too.

RE: Fool Proof Prime Rib
Thats pretty much how i do mine when i dont smoke it. In fact thats the way ive been doing it for years. Its easy and works well. I let the oven sit for 3 hours off though.
It depends on the individual oven I suspect and how quickly it cools down. My gas oven cools down much quicker than our electric at home.

RE: Dutch Oven Sweet Biscuits (Scones)
This vid was done by a Scouter. Scout DO recipes usually use powdered milk and filtered water.
If you prefer otherwise fine. Some RVers work with Scouts teaching DO camping skills.
YMMV.

Easter celebrations are coming. So is July 4th, birthdays, family reunions and whatever else you celebrate.
Cowboy Kent Rollins has an excellent Prime Rib method that I've tested and give an A+.
