Sometimes building that campfire to do your cooking just isn’t convenient or flat out just isn’t going to work.

Breakfast is an example that’s coming to mind right now.  It usuallly doesn’t make sense to build a big fire to cook breakfast in the morning if you’re going to be leaving the campsite for the rest of the day.
