Today I experimented with weekend cooking.
Again, cooking on a grill will just be for times when I really have to. I don’t
plan for it to be my regular thing, but since the weather was close to 60
degrees and feeling good, it was a good day to practice for colder times to
come – when I need to boil water for a cup of tea or heat a bowl of soup during
the snow.

charcoal
|
I couldn’t get the
charcoal to light up this time. It rained overnight and I think it got wet when I put it in the grill and that killed it.

concentrated dry
fuel that I got from Freecycle
|
This stuff has a cute little
stove that comes with it. I’d love to get it to work. It looks amazingly
light to carry and simple to use. The box of fuel claims it burns as hot as
gas. I couldn’t get it to light at all. I’ll have to find videos on Youtube
and see what I’m doing wrong.

sterno cans
|
Easy – shmeasy! It
took two cans to boil a pot of water – but I think stainless steel was the wrong
pot to use. Sterno easily warmed up a ceramic bowl of soup. It was good and
hot! I should the ceramic pot next time for boiling water.

I put the boiled water in a bag of Coleman
dehydrated food – chili. Not to my taste. Seasoned well, but I like more
corn in my chili – or cheese. I was good and full when done, though.
