Cooking without Electricity: Campfire Charcoal

It has been raining here all week and I have not been able to test some of the cooking without electricity methods I wanted to show you. So, this week I will share a link to a cooking method from Pioneer Living Survival.  I don't have any current plans to build this thing, but if I found myself without electricity (as recently happened to the east coast), I would have no problem building one of these. 

Your food is less likely to burn when using this cooking method (as compared to an open flame).  I have cooked over an open flame before and something usually ends up burning on the bottom and not completely cooked on the top.

How to Build a Campfire for Cooking

I printed these directions and added them to my food storage binder so I can have it available if I ever needed it.
