Some times we make cooking to complex, these deer tender loins came out first rate with nothing but a dab of bacon grease on a hot rock. Camp meat at 11000 feet for the 2016 muzzle loader hunt

Neat. Thanks for posting. I've baked corn pone on a hot rock with good success, never thought about trying meat.

Had a thick rib eye steak on a hot rock in Spain.....it was served very rare and I just cut a piece and laid it on one end of the hot rock until to my liking. Not a long wait because I like pretty rare steak.....Fred
 
You can even buy pre-cut rock to do it at home....sit it on the burners or in the oven then go for it!

Works well for fish too.
Easy to build an oven with flat rocks that will bake/roast.
 
As a good and observant student of nature's fauna, I often notice that many small animals will climb up on a flat rock to defecate...Leaving their scat on the rock....I also notice that many animals use the same "toilets" repeatedly....

Enjoy your meal.... :haha:

As opposed to the fry cook at the diner just down the road from the hunting camp, who may or may not wash his hands after defecation? :shocked2:

Fire kills a great many critters...., :haha:

You can bypass the rock. Wrapping meat in large leafs like wild grape you can lay it on the coals and cover it with more coals. About five min per inch
 
Try a thick covering of salt, Then place the meat directly on hard wood coals a bit. Roast to your desired taste, Take the meat off the coals crack the crust of salt off and enjoy. You can also spike the meat with bits of onion or garlic. Enjoy
 
ALL that I would say about cautions on using rocks as "cooking surfaces" is that rocks that have been in the water MAY crack and/or EXPLODE when heated, even when the rocks appear perfectly dry.
(I had that happen once when I was a Boy Scout & haven't forgotten that "all too exciting" experience, about 60 years later.)

A valid point on the wet rock use. As to rocks that may have fecal matter we have a lot of rocks to choose from up here. The four of us are well enough edjacated to pick a good one from the site. :wink: Large leaves are hard to come by in the Rockys. But I'll keep an eye out for some next time.
 
We built a sweat lodge at a rendezvous in Arkansas and that lesson was driven home hard in that lodge. It was on the banks of the Slyamore creek but could as well been called the silly more creek.
