I've cooked over the fire for years. Just keep people from tossing junk into the fire is hard if in a group.Camp wood can give a different taste to your food no mater what you cook so pick hard woods if possible.I now pack a above ground pit I made so we can use it for all types of cooking from BBQ to dutch oven. Tin foil and a spray bottle are very helpful to cover and keep things most mix some seasonings with water or Italian dressing in the bottle it helps a lot.Keep an eye on the heat so don't cook over the flames use the coals and pull them over to the side where you are cooking.If you BBQ at home it,s all easy!!!!

I've smoked a few racks in my day and I do know how easy they can dry out and hanging 2' above a fire sounds like something I would rather avoid.
