Loved it !
There's just something different about cooking on a camp fire.
When we were in Boy Scouts we still had full uniforms, were all boys, and were allowed to carry knives and play with fire 
If I am correct, none of the above is true anymore.
For cooking over a fire my favorite trick is: Steak on a stick. No fuss, no muss, no cleanup. Eat it off the stick (K-Bar).
For stuff like burgers (that can fall apart or have toppings fall off -- foil it up as everyone else states, then put it in one of those shrimp baskets Home Depot sells. Lousy for shrimp, but works for just about any meat. I'll turn it almost constantly.
Nothing like a fire
