Fun Accessories for Cast Iron Camping Cookware

Camping has always been fun for me and my family.  However, it was always camping with a purpose.

For example:

• Camping in Southern Argentina in the (pre-cordillera mountains) of the Andes. Fishing was unbelievable for trout and salmon.
• Camping at  Toledo Bend (between Louisiana and Texas) for bass, white perch and bream fishing.
• Camping with Royal Ambassadors (like Boy Scouts) to teach woodcraft skills.
• Motorcycle Camping with a trip from Louisiana to the Florida keys (3,500 miles round trip) was a blast. I could not have made it without a tube of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste that my wife gave me!
• Backyard camping for fun activities with children and grandchildren. Roasting franks, marshmallows and even popping corn with a campfire is irresistible for children of all ages.

Rome Industries has made available some excellent cast iron camping cookware and accessories to make camping a blast.

Cast Iron Cookware Shop and Cooking Over A Campfire

Portable fuel-burning stoves have made things much easier when it comes to camping. Most public camping areas have been picked clean of available wood for a campfire. I can see where portable stoves are useful. However, there’s a certain mystique about cooking over a wood fire while camping that the little stoves can’t begin to approach. Besides is it really camping without the smoke, sometimes in your eyes?

HERE ARE SOME TIPS CONCERNING COOKING OVER A CAMPFIRE;

First, you have to build a fire and let it burn down to a good bed of coals. It is the coals that you want to cook over rather than the fire itself. They produce and ashes and more heat. Also the heat is more consistent and controllable. It is really nice and helps you to control the heat when you use a camping tripod to hang your dutch oven (with a bail), coffee pot or cast iron kettle over the bed of coals.

The densest wood you can find makes the best coals. Oak, cedar, mesquite, pecan, or other hardwoods make good coals, while pines, aspen, and other light woods don’t. Before you attempt to cook, you need to build up at least a couple of inches of live coals and then let the main fire settle down a little.

For fire safety and convenience, dig a fire pit at least 8-10 inches deep and around 2.5 feet square, bigger in both dimensions if you plan on staying a few days or if you plan on having a “bonfire” at night. Keep the dirt you remove from the fire pit to fill in the hole when you break camp.

There are several designs of fire pits. Perhaps the easiest and most convenient is the Keyhole Pit. This pit is dug in the shape of a “keyhole” with a little side chamber out from one edge of the main pit. The main area is used for the fire itself and the side chamber is used for the actual
cooking. The cooking chamber should extend a couple of feet (up wind)
from the main fire and should be about a foot wide and only about 4
inches deep. When you’re ready to start cooking, shovel some
coals from the fire to the side chamber and you are in business.

Some Tips You May Find Useful:

1. Two ways to control your heat are to (1) add or subtract coals
or (2) raise or lower your cooking pots or pans. This is where a tripod is extremely useful. You can use
multiple cooking chambers (cast iron camp dutch ovens have feet to sit on a bed of coals and be stacked to give additional cooking chambers).

2. You can use a small grill over the coals, or you can pre-arrange rocks for the pot to sit on. (not too stable. can tend to “rock and roll”). If you use a grill, it should be easily moved so you can tend the bed of coals.

3. Here is a tip that can save you a lot of “elbow grease”. Make some dinners and wrap them in foil before you leave home. These are pre-packaged meals ready to throw in a coal bed for a few minutes of cooking. You start with some heavy-duty aluminum foil, preferably a double thickness about 2 feet square after folding. Then you lay out a piece of meat (anything from ground round to steak) along with some potatoes and veggies like carrots, onions, or corn and your favorite seasonings. Then fold over the foil and crimp it several times at the seam and at both ends. What you should get is a tightly-wrapped, sealed-off meal inside the foil. Then later, just sprinkle a few coals on the ground and lay the package on top. Then cover with a few coals and wait about fifteen minutes. You can cook baked potatoes the same way but they take a little longer. Remember a FEW coals. A little goes a long way. When you’re through, the fire will eat the foil and all you’ve got to clean is your fork.

4. Aluminum and other shiny cookware gets very dirty over a wood fire and is hard to keep from turning a permanent black. Frankly that is why is much prefer cast iron camping cookware. Here’s a trick to help in that department. Before you put the pot on the fire, make a paste from water and powdered soap. Apply the paste to the bottom and up the sides of the pot. Now start cooking. The soot will all stick on the soap, which washes off very easily when you’re through. Just don’t rub the soap off by sliding the pot around on a grill, etc. On frying pans, you need to come up close to the lip with the paste. Just don’t get any where it will fall into the food.

5. If you are car camper, try using a Dutch oven for baking or like a crock pot for stews and such. A true Dutch oven is a cast iron pot with three legs about an inch or two long, and a lid with a lip around the outer edge. Pots with no legs and no lip on the top are called ranch ovens and they are just regular cast iron cookware. You set them on a shallow bed of coals and then sprinkle more coals on the lid. Just like the foil dinners, you should take it easy on the number of coals you use both underneath and on top. In addition to stews or casseroles, you can bake biscuits or cobblers that always taste better outdoors.

6. Here’s a tip for the care and maintenance of your Dutch oven or any cast iron cookware. After washing, dry immediately. Then use a paper towel to wipe on a thin layer of vegetable oil (no animal fats) inside and out. Then put on the fire (or in a hot oven) for 4-5 minutes. This will cause the oil to glaze and bond to the iron, protecting it from rust and other bad things.

7. For fire safety, you should keep your shovel stuck in the pile of dirt removed from the fire pit. A little folding camp shovel works fine. Also you can keep several buckets of wash water for the next meal near the fire pit as well. When you are ready to leave, police the area for trash and throw that into the pit. Then, drown the fire and fill in the fire pit. Remember, a good camper “leaves no trace”.

Hopefully some of the ideas will be of use to you as you cook over your camp fire or fire pit. Enjoy the great outdoors or your great back yard and remember:

Cast Iron Cookware Shop and Making the Best of Times

In a sense what Dickens wrote about the “best of times and the worst of times” is true of all times. With so many people having lost their homes by foreclosure, so many who have lost their jobs, so many whose savings and retirement funds have been decimated it is easy to focus on the bad times. However, with the proper frame of mind, we might just be able to see some good that can come out of all this.

1. With trips scaled down into a local “staycation“, we can have time to visit local museums, historical sites, or enjoy a local State Park, National Park or a campground. There may even be time to build the fire pit for our patio or back yard and enjoy grilling burgers,  s’mores, hot dog or marshmallow roasts with our families. What a marvelous way to create lasting memories.

2. This can be a time to stop stressing out about the things we do not have and be grateful for all the things we do have. In our family we go without buying more “stuff“, Who can forget George Carlyn’s stand up routine about “stuff“?

3. Spending less and saving more gives us a sense of control. Why use credit cards to spend money we do not have to buy things we do not need to impress people we do not know?

4. Who has to have Starbucks when you can discover anew that regular old coffee tastes pretty good? I can even get a senior coffee at McDonalds for 27 cents!

5. Enjoy a movie night at home with family and friends. Pop corn and watch a DVD and save big bucks. I still have 2 payments to make on theater popcorn.

6. Instead of shopping for clothes, have a clothes swapping time with friends especially those who have children the age of yours.

7.Skip the cost of eating out and fire up the grill in the patio or back yard.
