coals, place bread, biscuits, or game with- 
in and cover up the front end. If you 
have not the time nor the inclination to 
make an oven in this way, dig out an oven 
in the clayey soil of the bank, about 
waist high if possible; make a hole down 
from the top to the end of the oven for 
a smoke outlet; this will work well. 
T RY to make a study of the proper 
woods that should be used for the 
different kinds of fires. For cook- 
ing under your pots and pans, in gener- 
ral, use hickory, blackjack oak, maple 
‘(hard) and w’hite oak. Flying parti- 
cles of popping embers are dangerous, 
so avoid cedar, soft pine, hemlock, chest- 
nut, spruce and balsams. For the sup- 
porting logs and stakes you may use such 
woods as red mapl^, red oak, hornbeam, 
green pitch pine, sour gum, green balsam 
or black ash. For heating the tent with 
a big fire, you have birch, hickory, hard 
maple, white oak and blackjack. 
You will not find many woods to choose 
from if camping on the beach, as your 
fuel will be mostly dried-out driftwood. 
Short lengths of yellow pine logs are 
occasionally found stranded on the beach, 
however, and these serve admirably to 
build the cook fire between. Nice square 
blocks of peat, cut no doubt from some 
distant meadow during ditching opera- 
tions, are also found washed ashore, now 
and then, and make excellent substitutes 
for side logs. 
In beach cookery many difficulties are 
encountered that do not exist xn the 
woods; not the least of these is wind. 
The slightest breath of air will send sand 
into everything; it is good therefore to 
have well fitting covers for all of your 
pots and pans. If it blows hard, build a 
board fence or wind break on the wind- 
ward side of the fire. These shields are 
often found ready-made on the beach — 
doors, shelves, chest covers, or table tops 
that have washed ashore. Last year I 
used a wind break, worth I am sure, a 
hundred dollars — provided one could take 
it home — a beautiful solid mahogany 
chest-top I think it was. Nearly three 
inches thick, inlaid and beautifully 
carved. What an inspiration to a novelist. 
If no logs are to be found, the little 
wire grates that come with folding legs, 
a dingle stick, or forked uprights with a 
crossbar will be the thing. It is not 
necessary to break your back leaning 
over your fire — dig a nice square hole 
about two feet deep to stand in, or you 
may sit on its edge when you are “spoil- 
ing grub.” Watch the ones who know 
how, the old has-beens, the sour-doughs — 
you will pick up many a wrinkle and 
labor-saving device ; no use going through 
hardships yourself, profit by the ex- 
periences of others. 
In Writing to Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. It will identify you.
