How did it work out?  I'd like to say it's nearly fool-proof, but
apparently I'm the fool who would prove it wrong.  I did one in windy
conditions, and managed to set the nearby grass on fire, as well as the
chicken!  After five hours, it still wasn't done, and I didn't want to
risk making anyone sick, so I chucked it.  We managed without it, with
orange glazed noodles, pork pasties, and other such things.

On this note, what's the most interesting thing you've cooked over a
campfire?  I'm already looking for ideas for next summer's camping.
<grin>  If anyone is interested, I'll collect this thread, and make it
available as one document or add it to my web site.
