Between movies & YouTube videos, I have seen about a hundred people "cooking" on roaring fires that were just started, It is nice to come here & see some pics that show a bed of coals being cooked on.

:hmm: I wonder how many people see cooking over a just started fire, try it and end up with burnt & raw food.
 
No kidding. Although I do have a good recipe for chicken jerky. Put wood on fire. Go shoot woods walk before the range closes and completely forget about chicken. Return to camp to clean gun. Chicken jerky is now done. :rotf:

Most if not all.
I saw a guy once whose cooking grate was 3 feet tall. once he got the flames that high from the wheel barrel full of wood he had piled, he would place the grate over it and begin cooking; narrowly setting himself on fire while wearing welding gloves and flipping his burgers with a 2 foot long spatula. Of course he also threw the plastic meat wrappers and other garbage in the fire to get it started.

Learning is the hardest thing to learn....many people never even give it a thought.

:shake: :youcrazy:
 
There's also the added insult of trying to clean carbon and resin buildup from open-flame cooking. But, heck, enlisted men need to be kept busy!

:doh: You mean, when the hero gets a spark from a knife & a round rock, and a healthy flame leaps up from his pile of wrist thick sticks.....You mean That ain't real? :shocked2:
 
It's as real as it gets with a guy off camera turning a valve on a propane tank in one hand, and using a butane fire starter in the other...the trick is he has to pull the trigger on the lighter just as the actor hits the rock they are using to represent flint with the steel.
