Campfire cooking basics

Your fire should be easy to take care of – you should be able to light it safely, add fuel or reduce the heat. You need to have the fire going long enough for the flames to die down, leaving white-hot coals to cook on. Then it’s a good idea to have some coals stacked higher than others to give you areas of high and low heat – just like on a cooker at home.

REMEMBER: Do not light a fire without an adult around to help you. Fire is dangerous and campfire cooking should only be attempted with an adult to help you.
