4 Flavorful Recipes to Try Over Your Portable Fire Pit

Portable fire pits are a fun way to switch up your camp cooking and add a unique flavor to your camping meals. Check out our Kamoto OpenFire Pit to try with these recipes.

Camp cooking is typically done over a camping stove or right over an open campfire. But we get it, sometimes you want to ditch the stove and have that delicious smoky taste emanating off your tongue. However, especially with this recent destructive wildfire season in the west, campfires aren’t always advised and often are banned from certain campgrounds and parks.

Luckily, there’s an alternative to good ol’ campfire cooking, and that’s using a portable fire pit. Portable fire pits are great options for leave no trace campers. The Kamoto OpenFire Pit can be used with wood or charcoal, to get that dense smoky taste that we crave while camping. This portable fire pit can easily be thrown in the car with the rest of the camping gear. You can also unfold it with ease and have a fire burning for your upcoming camp supper in no time.

Portable fire pit recipes can be more fun to make since you’re cooking over a larger open fire. Get ready to whip up these delectable recipes on your next campout.
