Cast iron is a useful for material for cooking over a fire, since it is both incredibly durable and spreads heat evenly. While many people are familiar with using skewers for campfire cooking, a more useful device is a cast iron cooker, which has an enclosed space for cooking. The device allows users to enclose dough and fillings, clamp it together and cook a small pie inside. However, cast iron pie cookers are also useful for cooking sandwiches, warming bread, even making waffles.

A camp grill is a grated surface that allows users to suspend meat or other grill materials over a camp fire. Many grills include an adjustable surface that allows aspiring fire-chefs to adapt their food to the varying flame heights.
