[QUOTE="TAFKAP, post: 5471180, member: 7776"] It started this weekend with TAFKAP Jr.'s Boy Scout Troop. Their November campout theme was cooking, and the goal was to get outside their comfort zone, but to also explore new cooking methods. I wanted to hang a piece meat over the fire, which was made easy by someone donating a campfire tripod. I found a big top sirloin roast at Aldi for $5.50/lb, and I seasoned it a couple days beforehand with 2% salt, lots of pepper, and some garlic powder & thyme. The day of cooking, I tightly trussed it with butcher's twine, and skewered it through the middle in a way that I could rotate it throughout the cooking process. The goal was to take it to 125°F internal by roasting over the pecan logs, then take it down and blast it on the a grill placed close to the fire. Partway through the suspended cook, I wrapped the tripod above the meat with aluminum foil so some of the radiant heat could reflect over the top and not dry out the meat too much. It turned out perfectly. After resting, it came up to about 140° internal, and I sliced it up for everyone to eat. Campfire meat, medium-rare, eaten by hand. The boys were thrilled. And the big takeaway is that they could eat well for appx. the same $$ as whatever ground beef thing they had come up with.
