HOW TO COOK WITHOUT ELECTRICITY - PART 1

Cooking without Power Outdoors

1) BBQ Grill
This is the most obvious solution. If you want this to be your emergency cooking method, then choose a BBQ which is charcoal powered and not gas powered!

2) Open Fire
This is the simplest solution. You can just set a BBQ grill plate over the open fire and cook. If you don’t have a grill, then things get a bit more complicated. 

You will have to put two or three branches (about 2in thick) over the fire and set your pan/pot on top of these. As the branches start to burn away, you will have to slip a new branch in their place. 
Good luck not spilling the food while you do this! Or you can create an A-frame out of branches and suspend a soup pot from it.

Another option for cooking over an open fire is to use a big rock. Just prop a wide, flat rock over the fire. It will get hot and you can put your pot or pan right on it.
