Hand Thermometer
 When you don’t have a thermometer this is way to judge how hot your fire is. Hold your hand palm down where the food will be cooking. Count “one one-thousandths”, “two one-thousandths”. “ three one thousandths”…..etc. for as many seconds you can hold your hand still. Move your hand around to find the spot with the temperature you want.
