[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is a reality check:

*Cooking over the open fire takes longer than cooking on an over or stove, is more difficult then you realize.  There is a learning curve. Think trying to lean over a hot fire to check food while not burning your finger tips.  [b]Just get long handled grill utensils.  You'll be fine.  But, do give yourself extra time.[/b]

*Washing dishes while camping is a big pain in the ass. Avoid it as much as possible.  Having greasy dishes is even worse. You can't leave the dishes for the morning either or you risk wildlife over night.  [b]Yes you have to wash your dishes.  But if you put a thin coating of dish detergent on your pots before you cook over a fire, the mess just wipes off very easily.[/b]

*Smores - if you are doing these for kids - nice in theory but messy, requires a longer cool down then you realize from the fire, and someone gets burned.  If the kids are really young skip them. [b]Never skip the Smores.  They are messy but the kids love them.  I've been doing them with my kids since they were old enough to hold a stick over the fire and we never had an accident.  Just be careful.  [/b] [/quote]

Have fun![/quote]
