Coghlan's Cast Iron Camp Cooker

We recently got 4 for a family vacation to the Oregon dunes as we've been wanting to get them for a good amount of time and finally did it. They work great! Use a generous amount of cooking spray though so as not to stick. My hubs though I was using way too much on our girls and mine....but his stuck lol. Fun to use and easy clean. We did bacon ranch cheddar chicken wraps one day, which turned out to be my kids favorite and pizza wraps another day. Our girls had fun making their own and using these to cook for themselves over a fire. Be sure to turn frequently and check as it can burn quick. We didn't mind at all but definitely something to consider depending on how crisp you like your food. Bought a bag (different brand) from Cabela's for storage. Definitely buy if doubtful. Plus they're a pretty good price too.

The cast iron is thick and easy to use. The handle is nice and long to be able to stand back from the fire. You can make various sandwiches and desserts in the cooker.

Smaller than I thought and hinge feels a little weak, but it is a good size and weight to decide if I'll use it enough before investing in a more expensive one.

Love this camp fire cooker! We love cast iron products since they are built to last! We use it to make mountain pies with bread, pizza sauce, and pepperoni. This past time we tried bread, ham, and cheese. I highly recommend you use butter on the outside of the bread and also spray with cooking spray. It would be hard for a child to hold this over a fire due to weight and but is suitable for an adult. The cook time depends on your fire and where you place it within the fire. We find it easiest to build some sort of ledge to place it on within your fire where it isn’t overly hot so it doesn’t burn right away. You need to use the basic bread so it will fit inside otherwise you will have to cut down the bread.

Great addition to our camping kit. Plan to pull them out again for a little backyard fire snacking fun. My kids loved them for breakfast sandwiches in the morning and pizza pockets over the fire at night. Looking forward to playing around with more food ideas.

This is the one. There are others out there, fine irons, even some that are more substantial. But the key with this one is the dimensions.The overall size perfectly crimps the bread to limit leakage. It also presses the bread slightly so that you get a proper golden brown.You still have to know what you're about around a campfire. These are analog devices and you'll burn a few pies or sandwiches until you get the hang of it. Can't blame the device for that.They are also cast iron so you need to season them and then clean them properly. Which means just wipe them out. The handles conveniently unscrew which makes seasoning easy.The lock ring is a little flimsy so you may have to fix it or replace it with your own wire. A little strip of leather works well. I'd like to see that improved but these are also pretty cheap for what they do.And you get a bunch of kids around a fire with a bunch of sweet ingredients and they have a ball. We have 8 at the cabin.And you have to clean them properly. If you don't know how to use cast iron you can mess these up.

Does not quite fit regular bread slices without cutting the crusts on some parts. A little awkward to open and close. Gets the job done...

While we were all drunk around the camp fire. I decided to try this baby out. Worked prefect for campfire pies, and is extremely durable. So easy to use! Just get 2 pieces of bread and what ever filling you desire. Close it up and set the Cooker in the coals, couple minutes you'll have yourself a delicious toasted treat! 5 stars for price, function, and quality.
