Good vid! Something I've never done. Larry made a gr8 point about the wet rocks. In the least, they'll crack. I'm interested to know what you do with the rock once you're done eating, as it'll have absorbed the smells of the food. Do you bury it?

Cooking on a stick is great for many meats, etc. although, one of the ways people have always known their fish is cooked is when it falls apart. So, you may loose a good chunk of your yummy fish if you cook it on a stick. But if that's all you got, then by all means go with it :)

Who needs a rock!? Just poke the gutted fish onto a stick and cook over the fire...I do this with every fish I catch while on the trail. Works great.

You could not have found a better "chef" than this lady... she makes things "feel" real and extreemly dooable.

Avoid using rocks from wet or damp locations. Any rock with absorbed moisture can explode when placed on hot coals or in a fire.

Let's eat!
