Camp Cook Equipment for the Fire

i find a good dedicated cooking leather glove or 8"x8" pieces of thick leather work real well when cooking over fire. beats burning yourself on all that iron, allows for a quick adjustment of the food or pot or grill and can act as a trivet in a pinch.

a good cast iron fry pan will do wonders, and i have a double sided griddle (one side smooth and one corrugated for bacon) i moved away from tripods and carry a grate with its own legs, folds flat and stores easy in the side box.
