Do you have tips on how to make coffee in a camping-style percolator?
I bought a camping- style percolator. It does NOT have an indicator on the lid to tell you when the coffee has started to peculate.
I have never made coffee in a peculator before.
Do you have any tips?
JaydasMomma: Oh yes, we have gone down that path before. Instant graduals were horrible, and after one sip, I threw out the rest. The coffee" bags" where you dunk them like tea were considerably better, and tasted like coffee- but such a pale imitation, it was like watching standard DVDs on a high-def TV- and you could see all blocky flaws of the picture.
No- I need to brew the bean. I would rather have a little weak, or a little strong then the graduals or the “tea bag” version.
Edit:
I am starting to see the wisdom in 'Willie D''s advice.
I tried the pot on my kitchen stove. I let it reach boil, and then dropped the innards in and quickly snapped the lid shut.
Perhaps this was my mistake- but I didn't want to start to over or under brew- so I did not add the innards until after it boiled.
Since the advice is 3-5 minutes- I brewed for 4- and it was weak beyond belief. When I opened up the canister - only half the coffee was even wet- it only brewed on one side- and I dropped it in while boiling- it was like the function of bringing water to the top was not working at all.
I think I might have to try the boiling in water method- or perhaps-like the other poster suggested- but not boiling the water in the pot- as much as pouring water slowing in the compartment- and brewing it by hand.
I wonder if I could rig a contraption to slowly allow water in- like a clean tin can- with a
holes in the bottom to slowly allow water into the canister to brew?

Can I use a pot or pan on a portable grill? I am looking for a new camping grill and am not sure what to buy
I had a standard Coleman gas one with a burner on one side and a grill on the other. It just broke so I need to buy a new stove and/or grill. If I buy a portable gas grill without a burner can I put a pot, pan or coffee percolator on it? Also, if I get one of these... Is it safe to use lava rocks or briquettes? Won't this help with heat distribution? So far the Weber Go-Anywhere Grill looks like something that might work but I am not sure about the above questions. Thanks a ton!
