Resources

large terracotta plant pot
charcoal (or wood)
soil or sand
tinfoil
methylated spirits
matches
bucket of water for emergency
food and utensils

Instructions

Half fill pot with soil or sand and then place a tinfoil lining over the soil and up the sides of the pot. Use at least 3-4 layers of tinfoil to line the inside of your pot.
Fill to near top with charcoal and add a little meths, or if using wood create your teepee structure inside the pot using your punk and kindling
Prepare food for cooking and light charcoal
Place food for cooking onto heat. Take care not to smother the top of the fire – the air needs to get in!

Note:
- Have the usual rules about safety around fires, including hair tied back, remove/tuck in dangly clothing, closed toed shoes, sensible behaviour
- If you want to cook using a pot or a frying pan you can place a BBQ grate or wire/cast iron rack on top of the terracotta pot. Remember to coat the outside of the pot or frying pan (on the bottom) to help the soot wash off easily when doing the dishes
- If you are using wood and need good hot embers, remember to start your fire before preparing food so that it has time for the flames to die down and the embers to be created
