If you’re a camping enthusiast and have been camping millions of times, you know that cooking at the campsite the old way needs preparation. We can always bring a stove but what if we want to cook with open fire? It’s easy to start a fire but if we use a pot or pan, we usually need that cast iron grill BBQ to place the pots on. Although we can always put the pot on a rock by the fire, it would not get that even heat to cook properly.
