There&#8217;s also plenty of background on different types of fires and cooking techniques, as well as all the equipment you might want to cook various things (for example: spits, forked sticks, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-cast-iron-pans\/\" class=\"text link\">cast iron pans<\/a>, and so on).
