I use @Higgs preparation method and @Leggers do it lying down cooking method. Might try @cass1's cooking on fresh coal method as I've currently got coal, not wood available.

buccaneer66 Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Create large bonfire, make a square of old logs and fill with very hot embers from middle of bonfire, bury spuds wrapped in foil in the hot embers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyG Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) Wash and pop under fire 'til baked, wood fire, not coal, as then you need foil. When moored next to harvested parsnip fields xelect large parsnips and stick under fire, they bake in their own clay jackets and can be scooped out, Edited October 25, 2020 by LadyG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I used to work one of the engineers at this time of year would go round selling sacks of his Dads Maris Piper spuds that the supermarkets wouldn't buy from the farm, they where superb massive spuds a lot over 10cm long and they made delicious jacket spuds.
