Campfire barbecue: How to grill over an open fire

by Mike

The campfire is one of the most popular meeting places in the summer and grilling over an open fire is also possible. To make sure it works, there are a few things to bear in mind.

How to grill directly at the campfire

For a successful barbecue, you don’t necessarily need an exquisite grill. You can use a stick or other skewer to grill directly over the open campfire or build a simple barbecue with a few stones and a grill grate.

  • On the spit: Small pieces of meat and sausages are particularly suitable here. If you are using a stick, carefully remove the bark with a knife and sharpen it. Then hold the stick over the fire for a few minutes to disinfect it. Now you have your own barbecue skewer.
  • Then skewer the food lengthwise on the barbecue. Now you can grill your meat over an open campfire. However, do not hold the meat in the fire. This would only burn the outside and the inside would still be raw or cold. Instead, hold it close to the fire with a little distance and patience. It is especially good if you hold the spit over a place with a lot of embers.
  • Improvised barbecue: This method does not work if the campfire is still blazing. In addition, even before you start the fire, position the stones correctly around the fire. Lay a circle with the stones and test whether your barbecue grill fits on it.
  • Make sure that your construction is as straight as possible. Furthermore, sufficient height is important. About 20 centimetres is usually sufficient. Then take down the barbecue grill, light your fire and wait until the wood has burnt down. This turns it into charcoal. While the fire is burning down, you can grill something on the spit. Sausages, small pieces of meat and bread on sticks are particularly suitable.
  • When your campfire has burnt down, you can position the grill grid on the stones. Now place your grilled food on it. You can cook the meat just as you would on an ordinary charcoal grill. However, make sure that you have produced enough charcoal beforehand.
