The one piece of camp kitchen equipment that I am sorely missing (I 
used to have one, but it went with the husband) is a Dutch oven.  
You can cook litterally anything in one.  I have even baked in it 
once or twice.  Any meal that you would be happy cooking in a 
roasting pan does beautifully.  One word of warning though, it will 
cook more quickly than you think.

I know that they are not cheep, about $50.00, and that they are heavy 
(what, about 5-10lbs for a good sized one) and they take a little 
care as they will rust if not cleaned out properly, but I think it is 
a must for any camp cook.

By the way, on the subject of to be or not to be period,  I am not a 
period cook, or at least have not been up to this time; this list 
does have a way of changing one's ideas all around.
