    I’m waiting for @foghorn to bust out this mystery cooker.  I’m really hoping it’s a turned over shopping cart.
    I witnessed the death of the trash can at the last sausage fest. RIP trash can. Finally rusted out and burned through the bottom. That was a damn good cooker. Can’t wait to see what he has in store for us now.

    Nobody’s buried a pig in the ground yet? 
    Yet is the key word here. 

    Did @SGH ever find his brisket?  Or teach us how to dig a hole?

    @Foghorn - That wins the cooker award right there.  Talk about the memories and going to the effort to retain the original.  Impressive. 
    No pressure to nail the finish on those great looking steaks B)

    @Foghorn Dude! Nice cooker - you win...

    My grandfathers wheelbarrow grill.  He had cattle and orange groves.  When we went over he would cook Tbones on his wheelbarrow over orange wood.  At the time I didn’t fully appreciate what a treat it was.  The wheelbarrow has rotted/burned out but we got an insert shell and add foil in an effort to preserve it.  
    Nice.  If I remember a post from a few yrs back where you told the story.  Way cool

    This does not disappoint at all.  Ingenious and sentimental.

    Giddy up.




    Love you bro!

    Does cast iron count? Tonight was spatchcock chicken, roasted carrots & potatoes, and corn bread sticks - all in the wood oven. This was my first time using the corn bread pan and I’m very excited I got the, all to release. I plan to make a Mexican street corn mayo/sour cream topping for them next time. 
    The chicken is a small fresh chicken I get at the grocer. I cook it in the CI skillet with the lid for about 20 minutes, then without the lid until done. These are tender little flavor bombs. 

    Pics aren’t great. I was in a hurry...

    These didn't come out perfect but delicious none the less. We do them multiple times a month easy...

    Nice! I need to preheat my pan more next time. I need to go for the crispier exterior.

  • The top is the more difficult to crisp depending on recipe. Mine tend to be wet cause I cant help adding stuff.....
    Brush the bottoms with butter before filling..

    @caliking Cool grill. Way to crush the burgers. The fries sound great too. I need to make some hamburger buns. 
    Is that recipe posted somewhere?

    @SciAggie Cen-Tex dropped these buns in his recent burger thread. They were easily better than the Hammelman  recipe I’ve used a few times.

    Pulled out the Weber Simpsons commemorative kettle grill today, for burgers. 



    Made Hokkaido brioche-ish milk buns first (again, TOTH to @The Cen-Tex Smoker ).


    Burgers seasoned with some dark soy, and DP Raising the Steaks


    Served up Happy Meal style with turmeric and truffle salt fries, cheddar, pickles, and ketchup (per caliprince specs).



    My little guy got a real kick out of the homemade Happy Meal :)
    “You know, I didn’t think it would be as good as McDonald’s, but it may have been even better.”
    How did you like the buns?
