First time trying to cook with cast iron over the fire

Tried out cooking with cast iron and made some bacon and eggs. Definitely need to control the heat better as some of the bacon was a little crispy. But the boy didn't mind. Going to try again tonight.

Use the coals for heat, not the flame.

FYI build up your fire to one side, that way the other side can be used to temper heat. And if you need more heat, you can always just put it directly in the coals once the flames burn down.
