• Cooked quickly with minimum fuss

Debrief -before the cookout
Discuss the menus with the guides, look at their kit list. As this is their first time and your first time on an open fire the aim is fun with a nice meal, choose simple recipes, bring your own wood /briquettes, use firelighters, storm matches or a lighter. Have a simple dessert Guides love s’mores which can be made on the open fire when all washup is completed.
The next time you cook you can challenge the unit to not take all the short cuts.
