<<< I am a recent addition to the SCA world and am interested in  
learning the ancient methods of cooking that our fore mothers used in  
preparing meals.  I am presently trying to develop a 1550's Irish  
personae.  I was at one time heavily involved with Buckskinning of the  
western mountain men fur trade era of approximately 1830's.  I would  
love to learn recipes, cooking methods, and cooking utensils for open  
campfire cooking. >>>

Welcome to this list and to the SCA!

I run a fairly large SCA/medieval site called Stefan's Florilegium.  
Currently there are a bit over 2200 different files there on a wide  
variety of SCA and medieval subjects.

You might find the NEWCOMERS section there a good place to start.

On open-fire cooking, I do have these three files in the FOOD section:
caldron-cookg-msg  (5K)  5/ 9/02    Cooking foods in a caldron over an  
open fire
cook-ovr-fire-msg (68K)  6/ 8/09  Cooking over open fires. Outdoor  
feasts.
Opn-Fr-Cookry-art (26K)  6/23/07    "Outdoor Open Fire Cookery" by  
Count Sir
                                        Gunthar Jonsson, CIM.

There are some others, which although not written specifically about  
open-fire cookery, might be of interest such as:

Camp-Cooking-art   (8K) 12/ 4/00    "Camp Cooking" by Lady Caointiarn.
M-Camp-Cookng-art (11K) 10/ 2/01    "More Camp Cooking" by Lady  
Caointiarn.
                                        Some simple one-pot meals.
campfood-msg      (84K)  3/ 3/99    Non-refrig., period food for  
camping events.

Or if you are really ambitious, in the FOOD-MEATS section:
whole-pig-msg     (66K)  4/18/05    Info. on roasting a whole pig.  
Experiences.
