Campfire Cooking - Select your wood and get to know it.

Soft Wood - softwoods are generally easy to split, ignite quickly, and produce a good flame, making them suitable for campfires. However, they tend to burn faster than hardwoods and can produce more smoke, so it's often a good idea to mix them with hardwoods for a longer-lasting fire.

HardWood - Hardwoods burn longer and produce more heat than softwoods, making them ideal for a sustained campfire. They also tend to produce less smoke, resulting in a cleaner burn. Hardwoods are preferred for cooking over fire, but you often need a softwood, to help them ignite.

Dirty Surf and Turf

Step 1 - Make Charcoal

Rake your charcoal to a flat clean zone and then simply place your steak directly onto the coals.

Step 2 - Add some prawns

Add some prawns to the charcoal, I like black tiger king prawns, due to their size and protective shell.

Step 3 Add Scallops

After you have flipped your steak and prawns, add scallops directly onto the clean charcoal.

Step 4 - Plate up

Once you are happy everything is cooked, brush off the charcoal from the meat and fish and plate up. Squeeze some lemon over the scallops and tuck in. For extra luxury, roast a Marrow Bone and pour the juices over.
