Cooking is one of my favorite parts of camping :cool: I don't have any outstanding recipes but here is a "quick and easy" solution for you guy's that love tinfoil dinners or tin-dins. Tin-dins can be a pain because they are so difficult to move around when you're trying to keep the heat just right.... This lets you put the tin-dins right in the coals without burying them in ash. The handle easily removes/attaches when you need to move it around or pull it out of the fire and flip the dinners over. I made it out of stainless steel and it will hold 3 average sized dinners nicely. It has yet to loose its shape after many years. Call now and I'll in include a second one fee..... j/k :p

Elkskin workgloves or even welding gloves are pretty sweet for that? Thought you'd have heard of local customs? You're breaching hobo dinner etiquette man!!! There'll be a motion to have you clean out the Casco plant drain at the next Lewiston City Council meeting.

It is what it is but the classic Ramen Stroganoff has its place :D

I make this when packing light, starving to death, in a hurry or if I want the wife to cook me something better out of sympathy ;)

One package of ramen noodles (cook them like you normally do I leave out the seasoning)
Then add:
Small can cream of mushroom soup
a spoon full or two of sour cream
canned mushrooms (chopped)
a little mustard
little worchestshire sauce
seasonings of your choice.
Chopped meat of choice.

Sadly all them good days are all but gone. Gone are the steel and plow-seems like every household has one of them iTelephones. Reminds me I need to download that cow finder app in case ol' Betsy gets loose again :D

Another good one is clarified butter.

1 once of the stuff will net you 800 calories(ever wonder why dipping your lobster in it makes you feel greasy inside). So down a few table spoons and your good to go.
