Bacon Wrapped Brats.... almost on the campfire
 

I've been camping a lot lately. On my last trip I didn't find out until I arrived, that there was a burn ban. So.... no campfires were allowed but they said you could use gas.
I don't cook on gas when camping I cook over a campfire... but I had my weed burner with me (for starting the campfire)

I had my heart set on a hot bacon wrapped brat... and there was an icky campground grill...

I shoved the weed burner into the base of the icky grill, added a pot of brats in beer...

wrapped them in bacon while I caramelized some onions and heated the kraut..

wrapped the icky grill in foil and poked holes in the foil with a toothpick...then browned my bacon wrapped brats...
