We usually use cast iron pots and pans on an open fire. Aluminum has a life expectancy of 30 seconds it takes to be scrapped. For some reason aluminum does not tolerate an open fire.
My favorite recipe is one large ham, two cans of cherry's, two cans of pineapple, potatoes, carrots, onions, and two cans of beer buried in embers for an hour and a half. Without getting into detail, dessert, bread, stuffing, etc. are cooked at the same time in other pots on the fire. The ultimate in our tradition is sitting around the fire eating Thanksgiving Dinner with the snow falling and the wind whipping. It does not happen every year, but when it does it is special. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
