Title: Pizza cooked on a campfire
Post by: iowabow on June 15, 2013, 01:51:03 pm
Annette has been teaching me how to make all kinds of great meals in under 10 minutes. This pizza cooks in 7.5 minutes and tastes real good. The peppers will be dehydrated and a few other toppings thrown on but as is it is 500 cals. My first try was very disappointing. I burned the bottom so I modified the bottom so it would not make contact with the foil. So first set of pictures  are  of the failure and the second is when it worked.
The basic idea is dutch oven cooking with light wt materials. The tooth picks hold the foil up and prevent it from touching the pizza there are 6 holes poked in the top to let steam out. The pizza was cooked just on coals with no flame. Build time for my fire was 30 minutes.

Gourmet pack food for sure there !
Backpack pizza has always been wrapped around a stick at our fires !
Foil has always been a luxury that seems to not hold up in my pack !
Guess you are a better packer than me !!
Press on and up and have fun !

What 44mag are you using? I just bought a Ruger SuperBlackhawk yesterday and am super pumped. Plan on taking some pigs and whitetails with it this fall.

Pizza looks great. I love cooking things in aluminum foil. We call em hobo meals but you can't beat a good pork tenderloin wrapped up in aluminum foil with your favorite veggies on the campfire.
Looks like you are going a little more gourmet than we do.

Great idea with the pizza, Something I like to take is an omelet in a bag. put everything for your omelet in a zip type sandwich bag, just put it in boiling water and its done, no shells or mess of putting it together at camp.

I have the 44 redhawk and love the gun!
I think I deserve goutmets meals because it will make me feel better after missing that trophy Elk! ;)

My uncle recently got a stainless redhawk with a scope on it. Mine is a blued SuperBlackhawk with no scope. Got a good deal on it. Haven't shot either yet but I look forward to seeing which style I like better. I've never shot anything bigger than a snub nose 38 special.

Don't talk about missing. Don't want to jinx yourself before you start. Plus, you gotta find a trophy elk before you can miss him.  ;)
