Cooking with charcoal is the best beginner-friendly outdoor cooking method when it comes to camping. Most people are well-versed with techniques to use charcoal grills, and it's also easier to find and safely store charcoal. Here are some easy ways to cook using charcoal using cutting-edge Outdoor Cooking Essentials, most of which are available at CampMaid.
Pro Tip: We recommend getting a collapsible charcoal chimney. It's much faster than making a pile in the fire ring or ring.
Portable charcoal grills are one of the easiest and most affordable options for camp cooks. They're easy to set up and use, and the food cooked using charcoal grills tastes better than the one cooked on gas grills. Portable charcoal grills are great for tailgating, camping, road trips, picnicking, beach parties, and other excursions. They're also easy to clean with crimped aluminum or grill brushes.
Grill grates can be used just like charcoal grills without the lid cover. You can use it on the fire ring or place it over charcoal beds. Flip grills are an excellent alternative to be used with Dutch oven lid lifters. Simply flip and grip over the charcoal holder available at CampMaid. It helps clip it under the grill, but you can lower or raise it to get desired heat levels. It's best used as a steamer or trivet.
This has to be the favorite outdoor cooking equipment for all the campers out there! It's amazing how many recipes you can cook in cast Dutch ovens by CampMaid. These are outdoor ovens that are essentially cast-iron pots with a lid. Heat can be controlled by putting different amounts of charcoal on top or under the Dutch oven to achieve different cooking techniques like baking, boiling, simmering, steaming, frying, and braising.
Griddles or cast-iron skillets are perfect for cooking outdoors using charcoal. You can place the griddle or skillet directly on hot charcoal or on a grate above them once the coal is ash white and hot enough to heat it. They are great for emergency preparedness and are available in different sizes to suit the needs of campers. While you're at it, don't forget to get your hands on these exclusive skillet bags to make it convenient for carrying them around safely.
