When a lot of peo...It is actually pretty elaborate. When a lot of people depend on the meal, you can't have bad firewood sabotage that. The cook tent is a square wall tent, about 8x10'. In the middle, like an island is a 3 burner propane stove, oriented lengthwise. I have a short high counter blocking its view from the door. Along the back wall is a double shelf of food and utensils, crocks, etc. Along one side is a line of 4 ice chests, covered with white canvas. Along the other side is a work counter, a linen rack, a trash can, and a wooden bucket of paper towels, hand wipes, etc. I use sawhorses and planks to make the counters, etc.<br />Outside I make a configuration of counters for food service under the tent fly, about the 10x12'. To the outside of the tent, I have three 7gallon water dispensers. We have a fire pit with 3 legged fire grates pounded in around it. One time I ran out of propane on Sunday morning after the first pot of coffee, and had to cook the meal on the fire, which I did. It is just a lot more work, more smoky, takes more time, etc.<br />I use a huge cast iron skillet to cook the eggs. It does have to be seasoned properly so the eggs don't stick too badly. I also use a good amount of bacon grease or butter. If you use a thin pan, you have to keep the heat very low. With the heavy cast iron, and the amount of eggs I use, I can use a higher heat. But with a spatula, I keep turning them slowly and consistently. When they are still fairly wet, I take them off; the hot skillet will continue cooking them as they sit on the counter.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06022843273272878598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724239016081748823.post-33412577111501567052011-07-26T22:25:27.168-07:002011-07-26T22:25:27.168-07:00What's your camp cooking setup look like? Woo...What's your camp cooking setup look like? Wood fires or propane (behind the scenes, of course!) Any tips on cooking? I can burn eggs like nobody's business with my stupid tinfoil-and-teflon camping pans :(Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.com
