We do quite a bit of cooking on the tripod grill over a burned down wood fire.
LOL...DH never had the patients to wait for the wood fire to burn down. Ever had chicken cooked over a flaming fire? It's burnt black on the outside and pink in the inside...it's not a pretty picture!
In the summer you might not want to have a fire, or you might be camping somewhere they don't allow open fires or you just might not have the time for one.
Cooking on the tripod took a few years before anything really good other than corn came off it. Now I've got it down pretty well, and can make juicy tender chicken breasts with a perfect smokey flavor. The first year resulted in some pretty dried up or burnt on the outside pink on the inside meat.
I love to cook while camping or I wouldn't go to all the trouble of cooking over fires. Electric or propane appliances are easier, but the challenge of putting a great meal on the table only using fire or coals is one I enjoy. I do cheat when I'm just too tired to bother with a fire, or the kids are too hungry to wait.
