Twig stove cooking. Bangers, mash & gravy.

I head to the woods for a mini day camp and find a nice quiet spot where I setup my twig stove and gather different size twigs for fuel. I use wood wool as a quick tinder source and start to build up the fire. After a short period of time I boil some water for a nice latte and then move on the main event!
I use my mini frying pan to heat up some oil and then start to fry several pork sausages (nothing fancy, just standard supermarket ones) and ensure they are cooked through. Then I boil some water in a mess tin and add in my favourite instant mash potato mix from Idahoan. I bring the sausages back to the fire and add a little water and use gravy granules to thicken the fat up and bring the two together for my take on woodland bangers & mash.
I really enjoyed doing this and using the twig stove, which I haven’t used for a while now. I have recently been using my alcohol and gas stoves but I fancied doing something different today. I must say that there is something about cooking over a fire that you have made, rather than relying on gas/alcohol - if anything, it’s good to try different things. I certainly will be using the twig stove again.
The wood was quite wet - for context it’s late November in the UK - but once the twig stove heated up it wasn’t an issue. Once finished, I dug a little hole and tipped the embers into it and extinguished with the rest of my water before burying.
I am truly thankful for all of the likes and comments. It really means a lot to me that people are interacting with the content that I make. I am having great fun filming, editing and uploading my outdoor adventures on UA-cam. I'm still learning but if I can inspire just one person to get outside more then I will be very happy.
