We're going to try our hand at hobo meals in our home fire pit. It'll be fairly basic with just a burger patty topped with thinly sliced taters, carrots, onions, (maybe some cherry tomatoes) seasoned and topped with a little butter). We'll seal it tight in foil and toss straight in to the wood fire.

I've read so many cooking recommendations on these ranging from 20 minutes to 1 hour. Some say flip them. Some say just cover them in coal.

What has worked best for you all who have made these?

As a side note, I think will put the cooking grate above the fire to cook corn on the cob and also stick some biscuit mix on a 1" dowel to make a complete meal.

Biscuits were done in my one frying pan--a cast iron one. I heated the pan then dropped in the biscuits and put a lid on it then set it on a hot stone nearby or the edge of the fireplace and turned it every few minutes..

If you are making breakfast of bacon and eggs. I cooked my bacon at home until it was almost done then piled it loosly in a plastic dish and froze it until we went camping. I could take out however much I wanted and wrap in foil and set it where it would warm and finish cooking. which it did while I cooked the eggs.
