Ever dreamed of pulling a bubbling lasagna or a crispy pizza from a campfire on day five? We sit down with Denis from Kid Product to unpack the gear that makes real backcountry cooking possible: a reflector oven that turns radiant heat into even baking, a twig stove rigid enough to hold cast iron, and smart fire tools that simplify the whole routine without adding weight.
We start with the reflector oven, a compact, fold-flat design that sits in front of your fire and works like a home oven by reflecting heat and moving air. Denis shares trail-proven meals—from shepherd’s pie to a four-pound roast beef in roughly ninety minutes—that prove you don’t have to settle for bland boil-in-bag dinners. Then we dive into twig stoves across materials: value-minded coated steel, rust-proof 316 stainless for year-round abuse, and ultralight titanium at about 140 grams for long carries and winter missions. Built with interlocking plates and no hinges, the stoves assemble easily with thin gloves and shrug off hard use. Yes, someone stood on one. It held.
We round things out with fire-starting that actually helps: ferro rods that spark in any weather, telescoping blow tubes to stoke embers from a safe distance, and a new jute tube that lights like an oversized match for steady flame. Along the way, we preview a hot tent trip to Mew Lake with a two-tent setup plus the so-called “circus tent” where stories and steam rise together. The throughline is simple—choose Canadian-made gear designed for durability, packability, and ease, then cook meals that keep spirits high deep into the trip.
If camp cooking matters to you, this conversation offers practical tips, tested gear insights, and menu inspiration to elevate your next adventure. Listen, subscribe, and leave a review to tell us the first meal you’d bake in a reflector oven.
