Great combo small dutch oven that uses the skillet as the lid.
There's this Lodge brand (decent I think) dutch oven for about $60 on Amazon, with the lid doubling as a grill.
I'd be willing to pitch in and buy this for these kids with a few other Redditors if you guys are down. OP, you'll probably have to make sure they learn to take care of it or supervise.
I'm from the USA but I'm sure we can figure out how to get the EU version shipped to you. I think we could either all Venmo / PayPal / CashApp you and you could purchase it yourself, or I could collect the cash and take care of it.
If we get 6 people that's like $10 bucks a pop, and more people it could be less.
Please leave a comment on this thread if you are willing to contribute and I will attempt to organize this quickly and let you all know the final cost. Let's get these kids something special.
I'll tag some of you in the comments, but hopefully others can contribute. Can I tag a mod here to sticky or ask on the subreddit page? Not sure. u/Jaglavak- u/smartalek428 u/very_humble u/MarcusFenix21BE u/Diligent_Jury_9956 u/blindgallan u/ocitillo
OP, let me know if this is okay with you and when you will need this shipped to you by.
Just got this one from Amazon a few weeks ago. Loving it! The heat distribution is great. Comes with one mesh bag and one covered bag. Very light and compact. The flames of the fire didn't stain it either. Pro tips; spray in the inside AND outside with PAM before putting on the fire grate. Keeps the flame stains at bay. Also got these multi-utensils which are also great and fit inside the mess kit. Have fun out there!
Oh man I actually don’t know. It was an amazon buy a few years ago. Attaches to a couple of pans with a drawstring bag for backpacking. No name on the stuff.

there's yummy stuff you can make if you invest in some pie irons
sorta similar, everybody gets their own to hold in the fire
It is a friends cottage so I will have to guess. I would say the fire pit is about 36" across. It's hard to tell but he had a custom insert made that is around the inside of the brick. The grate I believe was found on Amazon. Very similar to this one. This may actually be it. Amazon Link

There are actually many non-diagonal ones too, but if it HAS to be diagonal..
You could buy this magnet detailing the number of briquettes to use per size of oven to get the desired temperature. Or you could just print out the picture. Just sayin.
I like the video! Side note - when scraping your firesteel you should probably use the spine of your knife's blade to avoid dulling or damaging the cutting edge. The veggie steamer as a fire basket is clever. A trivet like this might let you get some charcoal under your pot and help you better focus the heat when using the basket. It looked pretty tasty!
Titan sells something similar. I found it browsing around Amazon using the link sidefliptop posted
I recently got it on Amazon and love it. It's this: https://www.amazon.com/Camp-Chef-Mountain-Grill-Black/dp/B0034VT60C/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1548897404&sr=8-3&keywords=mountain+man+grill The construction is seams really robust.

thanks just posted there
Yeah even if you're just doing burgers or kabobs the keyhole thing is so controllable, it's a great way to cook.
> Well medival and realism can go out the window on food some days. Were more focused on good calorie packed food because after running around in the heat and layers all day we need the energy.
There are adjustable fire pit grates, basically drive a rod into the ground and hang the grate off it, can be set to any height.

Don't know about the quality of the one in the link, mine came from Ebay years ago and I don't remember the seller but the idea is fantastic and very practical. Fire gets too hot, lift everything up 4 inches, fire getting low, drop it down 6 inches. Up high to smoke, medium height to toast bread, down close for steaks.
Oh and maybe my most important tip - welding gloves are the best oven mitts.
If you are interested enough to invest in a book, Cooking with Fire is a good general resource to get you started. My personal taste leans towards dutch ovens and potjies but those are both heavy to trek in if you are hiking and camping but if you are car camping or cooking on the beach or in your backyard those are both fantastic tools. Gonna be experimenting with open fire spit roasting this winter I think.
I've been dehydrating my own meals for almost 20 years for canoe outing of different duration (20 to 60 days). This very cheap book is the best we found on the subject, it has both methods and recipes. We use a classic American harvest dehydrator and a good old foodsaver vacuum sealer (any model will do) for preservation. If your camping trips are shorter you can do without a vacuum sealer.
The usual difficulty is dehydrating proteins. So we cook and dehydrate our own ground beef but we buy chicken and egg powder.
It's kind of a lot of work but it's WAY cheaper and taste WAY better than the ready made stuff. It also allows us to adjust portions size for what we need (or want :) ).
I got it on amazon I'll find the link and post it, I spent the winter staring at it till I finally pulled the trigger.

Here you go!
For short backpacking trips or consumption in the first few days: Fresh eggs will keep without refrigeration. You can probably pack 4-6 of them in the little plastic egg containers. And bacon - you can get the ready-cooked microwave style at the supermarket and pack that. Or, cook it a day ahead and reheat it the next morning for breakfast - fully cooked bacon won't go bad that fast as long as you keep it dry and sealed.
Potatoes: powdered, ready-to-eat hashbrowns, or precooked well-done hash browns. They'll keep for a couple days, just reheat.
