Unique And Delicious Camp Stove Recipes

We live in Arizona and deal with camping without fire when conditions are hot and dry preventing us from using hot coals and having campfire open flames. So, I create recipes that can easily transition between a camp stove and a campfire so we don’t end up eating cold beans from a can and hot dogs directly out of the cooler when a fire ban is in effect!

Baking On A Camp Stove

A quick note about the recipes here that are baked: If you are using your camp stove and Dutch oven to bake recipes, you will need a dome and heat diffuser plate to properly circulate the air up the walls and over the top of the Dutch oven as well as below the bottom.
