Who doesn\u2019t love a good roast? Lamb, pork, chicken, beef; you name it! When you have a big crew of family and friends at a good camping spot, nothing is more enjoyable than sharing a meal around the campfire. Roasting meat over the fire is something that human beings have been enjoying since time began, and now, with some of the gear being offered by Adventure Kings, it\u2019s never been easier to feed the masses.<\/p>\n

One of the most important things to consider when making a large roast is what sort of cut you\u2019re going to use. Legs of lamb are always a crowd pleaser, but if you want to take your roasting game to the next level, I recommend using a cut from the shoulder of an animal. Pork shoulder, lamb shoulder, or beef chuck. These cuts of meat lend themselves more to a slower cook, in that they have a lot more connective tissue in them than a traditional leg roast. This means that they usually fall apart when cooked long enough, and as a result, they\u2019re much more forgiving to cook. The difference between a leg roast being just right and overdone is sometimes a little iffy, whereas you can be confident that a shoulder roast will have much more room for error.<\/p>\n

Before you start cooking the meat, let it sit out for about half an hour if possible. It will cook more evenly if you let it come up to ambient temperature. Then, rub it over with olive oil and then season it well with salt, pepper, and any other herbs and spices you like the flavour of. I like smoked paprika and rosemary, but other popular choices are thyme, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, etc. To kick it up an extra notch, take a thin knife and make some deep sticking cuts into the centre of the meat, and push some thin slices of garlic down into them.<\/p>\n

If you have the time, caramelising the outside of the roast will bring about a more intense flavour, and the best way to go about this will depend on what gear you have available. Personally, I like to stoke up some coals underneath the Adventure Kings portable BBQ plate<\/a> <\/strong>and cook the outside of the roast over the grill section, in the same way you might cook a steak. If you don\u2019t have your Adventure Kings portable BBQ plate<\/strong><\/a> with you, sit your camp oven of choice (I use a Bedourie<\/a><\/strong>) over the coals to get it smoking hot, and hit the roast on each side for a few minutes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/news.emgcloud.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Capture-119.jpg\")
