My favorite method of cooking pork on a campfire is lay out 2 big layers of heavy foil.
Place the pork down(I usually use loin, butt will work) lay quartered onions, potatoes, carrots around it. Smother it with red pepper relish(the sweet/hot stuff) sprinkle with salt, pepper, anything you particularly like. Wrap tightly!! If you have to add another layer of foil, do it.
Lay it directly on the coals(this is a charcoal bed, but wood coals are fine). Just don't toss it into a roaring fire....
You WANT the stuff to really brown off onto the foil. It kind of "candies". I usually let it lay on charcoal for 1 1/2 hours then turn and let it set for another 1 to 1 1/2 hours. When you open it up if the carrots are tender, its done.
Seriously good stuff..... And man is it easy to make and clean up!!!
Oh.. while it's cooking... don't even try and look at it until 1 hour AFTER you have turned it. Then you can slice open the foil and check..
