Mostly on a gas cooker on a table but a little away from the camper.
Fires mostly used for sitting around and boiling water - oh and toasting marshmellows, of course.

Hi,
   fire is first choice for grilling meat or heating water in a 10L billy.
Gas stove for cooking vegies or any thing in saucepans.


When travelling we will often have a small fire around lunch time (much easier to find wood away from regular camp sites), grill a bit of meat, then put on the billy for a shower after lunch. (especially if the evenings are getting chilly)


Coffee/tea is usually on gas, even if the fire is alight.


cheers

cook by the fire as much as we can. We went to fraser for 7 nights over easter, only time the gas stove in the camper got started was for a coffee
Yep pretty much the same here too. I use the little butane stove for quick stops when doing a swag trip but usually cook on the fire in the evening :cheers:

if i go up the river, cook on the fire where plenty of wood, other wise when going coastal and i have to bring my own wood, i use a choofer at night to save on consumption and use my Beefeater Bugg to cook on. I do everything from breakfast to toasties to bbqs or roast in the Bugg. That being said, i cooked every meal on the fire when we went away over Easter Anzac. I use camp oven mainly, but i did buy a new fire grill on folding legs and the Mrs was in awe of the smokey, seasoned lloin chops i did on fire last trip... mmmm... crisps the fat up nicely too
