There are at least three ways.

1. S’more-Style: On the end of a stick or long skewer held over the fire. This is excellent for quick cooking foods, like sausages and s’mores.

2. Asado-Style: Impaled on or tied to vertical stakes or skewers you stand in front of the fire. This is excellent for whole fish, split baby lambs and goats, beef ribs, and so on.

3. Tuscan-Style: On a grate stretched between stones or bricks over the embers, or using a Tuscan grill, which has legs to hold it above the fire. Great for steaks and chops.
