Foil Cooking

All meals to be wrapped in 2 sheets of aluminum foil. Heavy duty foil is preferred. Bring foil loosely folded so you can wrap your meal at camp. Food should be packed in plastic bags to prevent leakage.  Wrap your meal with neat, tight folds to seal everything in to make a "pressure cooker".  When you think it's done, open carefully so you will be able to put it back on the fire if it needs more cooking.
