Oh, we have the required pyro, too - my husband. It's the two primary
cooks who don't appreciate getting soaked while cooking dinner.
<<that being said - we have people who spend all of Pennsic cooking in foil
pouches. Almost anything can be cooked in a foil pouch and if you don't
have a grill to put it on you can throw it in or close to the fire and it'll
cook nicely.>>
Yep, we use this technique at home on the charcoal grill all the time. But
again, it's a little touch to make a foil pouch to handle food for 8-10
people all at once, and we usually cook a single meal and share it out. Now I
could see using this technique to accomodate for rain when shish kebabs are
planned, since the kebabs would stay dry inside the foil. Hadn't thought of
that.
<<If you have a double burner griddle pan (we have a cast iron one) it'll
fit
over a 2 burner coleman stove without a problem. then you can can make
anything from pancakes to steak/fish, anything really. Even if you only
have a single one you can cook in batches.>>
Don't have one of those - but we do have a cast iron waffle maker that we
found at a yard sale! Flips over properly and everything. Looking forward
to playing with that.
