This ain't fair! I'm on a diet and I have to look at steak

the Atkins diet lets you eat steak... but not the potatoes. :

Great pics - I take it you took the stakes and broccoli with with you? How about the mushrooms? Did find them wild? Just after dawn is the best time to pluck them in the wild, of course you got to know which ones, but some can be the size of saucers in the right location, they really taste good.:thumbup:

Im not knowledgable on wild mushrooms so they frighten me

I packed two aluminum bundles at home. One with broccoli and onions and one with mushrooms and garlic. I think they need different cooking times. I put butter in each and a few drops of water.

Awesome!

What kind of wood did you use to make the coals?

And did it taste gritty going down ?

Mostly pine...

Lol! I was surprised the first time I did it. There were two or three large coals (grape size) which were stuck on there . They came off in 1 second and it was clean. No grit

Its a real pleasant surprise!

I'm doing a trip in a few weeks and would love to try this cooking method on the first night. I've never even heard of direct coal cooking before let alone see pics of it. Any more tips or weblinks regarding how to?

Mr. Nose,

The beauty of this technique is its simplicity! Here's what I do :

1) Get your favorite BONELESS chunk of meat (bones are unnecessary garbage to pack in and back out of the wilderness) and freeze it the night before your trip in a ziploc plastic bag. Ziploc so the frozen water/juice doesn't spill into your pack as it thaws.

2) The first night of your trip, light a fire and about 45 minutes after starting it, move some coals to a level section of the fire pit. Spread them out with a stick.

3) Place meat directly on the coals. No kidding. Let it cook for about 10 minutes/side and knock off any clinging hot coals. This is about medium rare for me.

4) Put your veggies which you wrapped in aluminum foil, added a little butter, some garlic and a splash of water on the coals or over fire on the side.

5) Season your meat to taste ( you could also season before freezing).

6) THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP - cut with your ESEE-Blade and enjoy!
