A Pie Iron or "Hobo Pie Maker"
as we call them is a long handled, aluminum or cast iron, two-faced griddle for making hot bread "pies" or sandwiches. There are a number of models on the market, but I would recommend cast iron. Cast Iron is stronger and more heat resistant so it will last longer. I've had aluminum pie irons that melted in the fire leaving me with nothing but handles. Pie Irons can be found in camping supply stores, K-mart, Meijers,
Target, Walmart, and sometimes even hardware stores. You can also find them on the web.

Below are some "Hobo Pie" recipes. They all start with two pieces of buttered bread and your iron.
Open up the pie maker and lay a piece of bread down on each side buttered
side out. Then add your ingredients, close and cook over the campfire for about
a minute on each side. (some ingredients may take longer.)
To check them pull them from the fire and scrape the corners of the bread off. Then open the iron and check to make sure
the bread is golden brown. If they stick to the iron bang each side on
a rock or something. You can also spray the inside of the iron with cooking
spray to help.
