    Awesome!!! I was born in Spain and mom and dad used to cook it like that. Brought back memories!
    That is high praise indeed. Thank you.

    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
    "Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    That’s good - this thing is a bit intimidating.

    @SaltySam @Navymom @da87 @caliking As y’all (and others) have metioned, being able to do this with/and for the family was what made it special. It was definitely a fun cook. I’m discovering that the bigger pans are really no more difficult to mange than the smaller pans. Small kindling size wood is still the best choice. It can flame up and give high heat when needed, then die down quickly as well.

    Fantastic cook!  Congrats on pulling it off.  It really looks great. 
    Thanks. I’m working up my nerve to build that patagonia cross now. I have a goat reserved for the end of February - we need to set a date. I’ll work on that.

    You have me trying to figure out how many firebricks I'd need to put in the bed of my truck to "safely" drive up from Houston with a goat going over an open fire in it, a la Mad Max Fury Road

    Pick a date and we'll be there

    That is an absolutely stellar cook, and needs to be in a cookbook or magazine!
    Happily egging on my original large BGE since 1996... now the owner of 5 eggs. Call me crazy, everyone else does!
