Well, I cook sometimes, and others do as well. There never seems to be enough time in camp to really get into it. So even the good meals always have that speed factor in mind, we don't want to spend much time in camp when there's fishin or huntin to be done.
For the permanent camp, we have a kitchen. My wife has sent a shephards pie along with me before, with venison as the meat. That always goes over well, just throw it in the oven for a while. Another is to cook hot or sweet sausage the night before, throw it in the crock pot with some sauce, onions, and peppers. In the morning you just flip it on before leaving, and you have a good hot meal ready to eat when you get back. Just remember to flip it on, we've forgotten several times.
As for me, I do one big recipe, and it works on a grill or over a fire but is best over the fire. Beef and pork roasts, cut up into small pieces skewer style. I marinate it all in one of those big pickle jar thingies so that it doesn't leak through the cooler. I don't remember the exact recipe off the top of my head, but it involves soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, crushed red pepper, and tons of diced onion and garlic. Really good stuff with a kick at the end. If anyones interested I'll get you the recipe. With the wood fire, you just use the hot dog stick as your skewer. Take meat out of jar, put on stick, cook for a few minutes, and thats all there is. Of course there's lots of prep before the trip, but thats before the trip....
Mountain pies and Kielbasa are also great fire food, polish kielbasa on a fire beats a hotdog anytime.
