And it was all done over an open fire built on the ground. Recently here in the United States open fire cooking has started to explode. In this video I want to share with you the open fire grills I have and use regularly and share some tips to help you determine if you want to own one yourself and jump into this way of cooking!

What would you recommend for a type of grate I can use to put over a small campfire so I can make brisket? What material is best to use? Should I oil the grapes? How high above the flame should it be?

Hi, Argie here... In open fire unless you are cooking "asador" style or "to the cross" never cook with flames beneth the meat. You will dry the meat and burn it. Just the coal very hot and with an orange color is enoug to cook. And a simple rule is aarroun 1 hour per kilogram of meat.. Hope this style of cooking is geting known in the US. For us here is like playing soccer, we do it since we are very young.

8 pm 4/6/24 Great video Arnie as usual. I live in Santa Maria where open fire is king, and I agree that wind and weather are key to adjusting your cook. It’s always windy here! I typically use a waxed veg carton w charcoal on top to start my fires, then add red oak. ❤ your videos!
