Stickiness
Sometimes our Tin Foil meals are going to stick every now and then. So, how can we prevent that from happening? Adding a lubricant to the Tin Foil before we put down the food works really well. Butter and Cooking Spray are good choices. Butter is harder to bring to a campsite, while Cooking Spray is easier, but it doesn't add flavor. You can use parchment paper in the Tin Foil, but that feels even more bothersome. Some people use cream based soups and add them to the meals, giving flavor and protection from it sticking to the foil.

Even Sizes
Whenever you add anything to a Tin Foil meal, make sure they are cut in even pieces. This is for a few reasons. First, you want to make sure everything cooks evenly. Having some pieces of the meal overcooked while others are just right is going to make for a poor meal. Another reason is because it is much easier to eat when they are all the same size.

Coals
When it comes to coal, we have a few things to consider. For one, you want to make sure you choose a coal you trust. Coals are not all made equal, usually the more popular a coal is, the better quality it is. The temperature of the coal is also very important. You do not want use coals that are on fire, flaming. We want to use coals that are super hot and mature, this will cook the food quickly and evenly.

Folds
Learn to fold your foil! Juices are very important in these Tin Foil meals. They add flavor, they add moisture, and they keep things from burning. Whenever you fold a corner, do not just crumple it up in your hand, thinking it's good enough. Do deliberate folds, a few of them, until you are sure that it is strong enough.
