- • Keep perishables at 40°F (4°C) or below in a monitored cooler. Discard food left above that temperature for over 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C). Use potable water, wash hands, and pack out scraps. Never cook inside a tent. Check local fire restrictions.
- • Prepare this oven recipe at home before departure. Cool and transport perishable portions safely; do not assume a campfire provides the source oven temperature.
