It doesn't seem to matter if it's a bit burnt, we just scrape it off like the black from burnt toast. Just make sure not to eat any hot coals still attached - unless you are planning to join the circus as a fire eater!

I remember the firt time I made this at a school camp back in 4th grade...one of our burly looking guides was explaining the history of this bread and how it was made, and one kid piped up and asked if it was like a burnt cake. I still remember the look on the guide's face ;) I've never tried making it outside of my school camp experiences, but it could be fun to relive this experience :) Ahhh, the good old damper!

Every year when I was in the cadets, we went camping and every year we made this right on the coals. There was that one year when one lad made pizza from camp rations, that turned my head! That's why you need to make it thin so it doesn't burn too much before it's cooked through, though you can make a thicker (and safer) version in a dutch oven. It still tastes good, but lacks the charm of the campfire version. Hi andy, you're right about stiff, we don't want it dropping between the coals or anywhere else! Hi tanna, absolutely, yes I have.

I can tell you it works great for searing sirloin and other meats - directly on the hot coal bed. Who needs that dutch oven to conduct the heat, slap it right on the fire. I'll report back after I try it as well. Great to have you on board Neil. Tanna -

I would say you have, still I can't imagine this would work for me. On the coals... Since it's cold here I won't be trying this for several months. I'd love for it to work.
