What’s the secret to grilling over a campfire? (My husband always burns the food.)

As a rule, it’s better to grill over the embers than in the leaping flames of a roaring fire. Start your fire thirty to forty minutes before you plan to do the cooking. Shovel or rake the embers into a mound on one side of the fire and do your cooking over them. Burn fresh logs on the other side to continue generating embers.
