Campfire cooking
While there’s numerous, fantastic camp fire grill plates and cooking facilities out there, you can’t go past the joy of cooking food in the hot coals of your campfire. Stay healthy by wrapping roast vegetables in two layers of aluminum foil, bury in the hottest of hot coals and cook for 45 minutes for roast vegetables cooked to perfection every time. You’ll never want to return home to oven-roast vegetables again.
