Last weekend we made a chili cheese burger over the fire. 1/2 pound extra lean ground beef patty cooked over the fire with some cedar shavings for flavor. All the usual burger trimmings were pre-sliced for easy use including some Tillamook cheddar cheese. The sesame seed buns were briefly caramelized over the flame and we heated the home-made chili in a pot next to the burgers.
Once the burger is assembled ( no room for the chili) we simply spooned the chili onto the top of the burger and took a BIG bite. Holy smokes! These things were amazing. A little messy, but well worth the post-meal hand cleaning! I was stuffed.

Anyone else have a favorite camp meal?]]> http://www.camping-usa.com/forum/discussion/417/auspit-rotisserie Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:54:41 -0500 Eric 417@/forum/discussions Camp cooking is one of the things that I really enjoy about getting out in the wilds. Food just seems to taste better out there.
Recently I was introduced to the Auspit Rotisserie at a local RV show. I followed the intoxicating aroma of roasting chicken around a corner and down an isle to the Auspit booth where Jon (the North America Distributor) was literally cooking up a full meal on an Auspit Rotisserie right there in the show. With my mouth watering the whole time Jon described the Auspit for me.
Made in Australia, this self contained, compact, self automated, light-weight, go-anywhere rotisserie is a great addition to any camp cooking arsenal. It sets up in just minutes and can be used over an open fire, a bbq pit, bbq pan, or just about any cooking source. The construction is solid and it will hold up to 18 pounds of food at a time. It runs up to 90 hours on just 2 D-cell batteries. You can feed up to 16 people with this thing. And it only weighs 11 pounds!
It is totally hands off cooking and slow cooks meats and vegetable to perfection.

The best part is that Jon was nice enough to supply Camping USA with one of his Auspit Rotisseries for our February gear give-away! Click here for details on the give-away and how you can earn a shot at winning this must own camp cooking device.
