<p>Finally got a chance to cook over a keyhole fire recently. We made cast-iron skillet cornbread. Coals were a bit too close to the pan and we burned part of the bottom but it sure tasted good! We didn't have a dutch over, so we made a "lid" using a second skillet and put coals on top to even out the heat. No bad for a first try.…</p>

<p>One of the key cooking features in the book is the "keyhole" shaped fire pit. Build the fire in the upper, larger fire ring and drag hot coals to the smaller "keyhole" part of the ring.

<p>I'm intrigued by this and might pick up a copy. Jenn and I definitely are NOT cooking gear freaks (anyone else eat straight from the can?) but some simple stuff sounds interesting. And the book is cheap on amazon.</p>
