FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Cook over flame or coals?
Coals. A flaming fire is sooty and uneven; a bed of hot coals gives steady, controllable heat. Build the fire early, cook over the coals it makes.
Dutch oven — why?
It is the camp kitchen — bakes bread, stews meat, fries, and holds heat for an hour. With coals on the lid it is an oven; over coals it is a stove.
Tripod worth it?
Yes — it hangs a pot at adjustable height over the fire, the original stove-top dial. A good tripod turns an open fire into a controllable heat source.
Seasoned cast iron care?
Never soap, never soak. Wipe, scrub with salt if needed, oil lightly, heat. A well-seasoned pan is non-stick and lasts generations.

Campfire cooking kit and my smoker share the cook-over-coals-not-flame religion — Dutch oven and a tripod are the cast-iron gospel I live by.
Campfire cooking and my family car-camping share the cast-iron-and-fire-starter kit — coals over flame is the rule my kids' hot dogs depend on.
