I like to use foil for dutch cooking for easy clean-up but at hard core frontiersman events it is frowned upon especially if you are demonstrating to the public. I am kind of old fashioned and like the taste of the food being cooked next to the cast iron but most of the time I am lazy and use the unmentionable tin foil.
Did you ever try dutch oven pizza using whole wheat dough? I grind my
own whole wheat flour.
This last fall we taught cooking to our Pioneers at Outpost meetings.
We had a fire ring outside of the church so we could teach fire building
and cooking. By the time we started our meetings it was near dark so that
made things a little difficult, teaching a bunch of green horns (excuse
me, Powderhorns and recruits) The boys took to it like ducks take to water
and they had a good time. They also learned a little self sufficiency and
how to work as teams. On the last day of cooking we stacked our Dutch's
and cooked our cobblers. We also cooked foil packs and other utensil less
cooking. We put baked potatoes into the fire without foil; everybody had
doubts about that working but I knew it could be done (just don't eat the
peel) We also put a acorn squash in the fire so it baked in its shell (squash
went over like a lead balloon). You have to cut it open remove the seeds
and then put in brown sugar or better yet, maple syrup; cinnamon; nutmeg
and walnuts. Tastes good!!!!!
We then invited the Trailblazers to sample our food along with our
pastor (I think he likes grits). This opened some eyes within our church
that Royal Rangers is more than watching their kids while parents go to
Bible Study on Wednesday Nights. It also taught some boys that having fun
is not always a free for all wild time. You should have seen these boys
after this. It is good they play games and study Bible lessons but without
the rest of the program it is nothing more than Wednesday Night Sunday
School. It is these memorable experiences that grabs a boys heart and then
we lead him to Jesus Christ. Then the games and the Bible Studies and devotions
have a great impact on their lives.

have done some experiments with it and mixed apple pie filling with fruit
cocktail. Sprinkled a little ground cinnamon in it and drops of margarine on
top. Also just 2 cans of apple pie filling was very good too. These will
made many times at Outpost 45 campouts in the future.
Oh by the way we may use that beef stew recipe for the next campout in Jan.
