Becker Skills and Information Thread 03 - December 2013 - Outdoor Cooking

Hark!

I have an idea, another in the K.I.S.B. series. Could rock, could crash and burn.

Nothing ventured nothing gained right?
 
Another simple tasty and somewhat healthy out door treat is Kabobs,

Stack some stuff on a stick,


And stick it in the fire,


Great as a meal or hor derves,

These are AWESOME for spices. If you go to google(or amazon or something like that) and search for "Bead Containers" it should pop up.
 
I'm still just a beginner at Dutch oven cooking, but I have come up with one little trick so far.

A common problem when cooking biscuits, rolls or other breads in a Dutch oven is burning the bottoms. To prevent burning, but still have sufficient heat to cook the biscuit bottoms, I put lots of coals under the empty oven while I am preparing the dough. I allow the bottom of the oven to heat up for a few minutes. Then, when I put the dough in the oven, I remove it from the coals, and put coals only on the top. The retained heat in the bottom of the Dutch oven gets the biscuit bottoms lightly done without the risk of burning.

This sounds like an excellent idea that I'll have to try next time I bust out the dutch oven (which I haven't used in years)!

What we did back when I in Boy Scouts (and dinosaurs roamed the earth), was put an inverted metal pie pan or aluminum dinner plate in the bottom of the dutch oven and then the biscuits in another pan or plate on top of that. It created an air gap that helped prevent to bottoms burning. The downside was two extra pans and/or plates to wash. So less to wash afterwards sounds like a good plan!

Nice technique. My wife and I like to use the paper liners on some things. Makes clean up a snap.

you can get the same effect with three or four 1/2" nuts (or similar sized rocks) - set them in the bottom of the DO, and set the pie ban on top of them.

Thanks! It was extremely frustrating; the black dog ran into the pot hanger and knocked the meat into the fire ( it's almost impossible to get ash out of tissue)! :mad: I had to go and shoot another squirrel, de-bone it and resume :eek: Then I knoocked it over!!!!!!! :shame::shame::shame: it wasn't too bad and I managed to selvage it. I keep trying to reach through the monitor and grab GSO1962's meal :D

MM and G&B -

I have to agree with Derek that all three entries were outstanding. Three different styles (MM=bushcraft, me=heavy camping, G&B=hiking/light), all done with style and good pictures. If I was Ethan, I'd have a hard time choosing.
