Heating Food with a Campfire
-
Get the fire going by using the kindling and match or lighter.
-
Add larger pieces of wood, and let it burn down to a manageable size and there are plenty of coals to cook with.
-
Take the label off the can of food and discard it.
-
Open the can and leave the lid attached enough so that you can close it to keep the soot out of the can while it cooks.
-
Set the can on the edge of the fire, so it is close to the coals, but not directly on them.
-
Stir the food when it starts to bubble to make sure that it all gets heated.
-
Using the hot pads, carefully lift the can from the fire, and serve.
