Default Coffee can cooker

Have you ever improvised when cooking on a fire? I once used an upside down coffee can as a cooker. Just poked some holes in the base, and sat it over the coals. Worked great.

No but that's not a bad idea! I like the stand a lone grills you can get at walmart but I'm in the process of making my own tube steel grill with extend able legs .


America is not the land of (get everything you don't deserve) Its the land the (work your ass off and make your own way), if you don't like it go to china, they have free health care and 1$ a day wages.

Cut the top out of an empty pop can to melt snow and boil water when stranded away from camp because of a blizzard.

I've used a cut up Arizona iced tea can to boil water and to cook wild mushrooms. It was a little irksome to get on and off of the fire, but I eventually worked out a good system with a stick.

I have the metal grate from an old, non-functional toaster oven for grilling, although I haven't needed to use it yet.

I have a metal great from an old fan that broke that I use for grilling over our stone ring fire. Works great and didn't cost me anything. Grandpa- do we get to see pics when it is done?
