Introduction

Welcome to The Camping Chef. I am Sara, a lifelong camper who loves to cook. In this blog, I share tips on using cooking tools and preparing meals while camping. I also cover classic camp foods, their history, and how to adapt them for different cooking environments. While many methods exist to perform certain tasks such as fire building, I try to explain what they are, why they work, and how to successfully utilize elements of those practices. I hope to share an understanding that there is no single way that things should be done. Every situation is different, and with simple adaptations and variations, any desired goal can be achieved in many different environments.

There are both savory and dessert versions of this interpretation of a hobo pie. Other sources also make sandwich versions of the dish, and they call for an iron to hold over the fire to warm the sandwich the National Park Service compares this tool to a panini press (visually).

Camping Stoves

Camping Stoves           I personally have little experience with camping stoves, and though I own one, I have never actually used it. This is due to a small mistake that was made when purchasing fuel for it. I bought the stove for a camping trip through the Southwestern United States, and I had never attempted to use it until the group I was traveling with and I arrived at our first campsite. This was my first mistake. Before using any new equipment, learn how it works. Test it. Play with it. Research it. Before heading to our first campsite, we stopped at a Walmart to purchase our food, fuel, and other last minute supplies. Some of us decided to save money and purchase two canisters of propane that were sold together for the two stoves that were brought on the trip. The canister and my stove were not compatible, so only one was used for the trip’s duration. Every product available caters to a different consumer. Some camping stoves are large and cater t...
