Outdoor Fire Cooking Thread

[Shooter71]

I’m a horrible cook. I don’t smoke anything or do any fancy brisket, but I enjoy burning meat over a fire. Usually use the big grinder pit and a grate, or a “discata” disc with the center hole welded up. Was scrounging around the scrap yard a couple days ago and found this old pipeliner’s truck bbq in the dirt. Weighs about 68lbs because I had to pay the scrap fee. “Georgie” is welded in the door. Hoping it has some mojo. Once I figured out the air it cooked a good tritip and some veggies and stayed hot for hours.

Anybody else a fire cooking hack? Recipes?

Those peppers with some EVO and Cavendars are bitchin.

My girls love em with ranch.

Drown some cheap bone in pork chops in some pineapple/orange/mango/whatever Dole juice for a few hours, Cavendars and blacken them. Look for the red meat on them chops. Camp favorite.

I’ll have to get a pic of the grinder pit in full swing. My day used to cook for the brandings and I’d be running chicken and tritip. Hated it at the time.

The more rudimentary the apparatus, the better result I reckon - assuming the meat is any good to start with!

Can’t beat a basic hot plate or grill over coals, and just cook meat, fish, veggies and all over the heat as slow as you have the patience to!

Poor lil Georgie!!

Guess everyone else uses some kind of instant pot.... that’s fine, whatever......

I use a Webber go-anywhere for most of my burning. Also have a few smokers home built and otherwise.
I’m no meat cooking pro, but I have fun none the less.

Webber and RecTec here. The Webber is now over 20 years old, one set of new burners in that time. Cooks like new. The RecTec turns out consistently excellent results on large hunks of meat and ribs. I can see Georgie having his place though. Nice find.

I love my Traeger pellet grill, just so easy to use with great results... Just got some good smoke into this piece of venison neck before I drop it in the crock pot...

I've got a treager for most cooking, but also have a fire pit I built out of cinder blocks and about a 3x6' grate I made for real fire cooking when the mood strikes

Love that cone shaped fire pit, never seen one like it before.

 

[Shooter71]

It’s a big grinder from a rock mill. Dad had a few and was nice enough to give me one. About 5 feet dia and a couple inches thick. Once it gets hot you can tuck your legs under it.

I don't need no stinking Traeger
