Shirley,
If you have a Walmart or camping store around, they should carry them. I know here they only cost about $10.00, so not too bad. They are well worth the money, they are so much fun and make such good yummies!


Baked Potatoes
This gives the guys something to do in the evening.

Wash potatoes, wrap with aluminum foil
Put in the embers of the campfire not in flames
Leave them in for about an hour, sometimes two
Check for doneness, like with oven baked potatoes
The next morning, you have wonderful potatoes to cut up and make american fries or hashbrown potatoes for breakfast.
Or just eat as baked potatoes that night.


Chicken in the coals
I have not tried this, but our camping neighbors cooked this...

chicken legs
can of mushroom soup
can of corn

They put 1 chicken leg with some soup and corn in a very heavy aluminum foil and wrapped well, then placed it in the coals for about an hour. It looked really good, if you try this, make sure that you check that the chicken is fully cooked.
