philpom Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 We spent a few weeks in the mountains at our cabin in December last year. One of the funnest parts of going up there is the cooking and the food. For some odd reason after a day of splitting wood and stacking it, dragging railroad ties around for landscaping or taking down a block fire pit to move it and rebuild it.... Every meal is the best you ever had.  everything was cooked like so. It's a fun and relaxing way to do it and offers a great level of control. Breakfast pizza We tossed everything including the kitchen sink in this. Chorizo, bacon, breakfast sausage. Cheese. Olives, eggs etc.. I will admit to using wack o can of dough. Chuck roast It was cold, getting down near single digits and this was perfect for it. Standard stuff, carrots, onion, potatoes, herbs and beef broth. It's also nice cooking this way since we heat with wood the wood stove is a great place to keep food warm or even reheat it.

CentralTexBBQ Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 looks delicious. I am hankering to do a real wood dutch oven cook- chili or a deep peach pie. philpom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKOBBQ Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Been a while but have had some great apple cobbler done that way. Your dishes look really good. philpom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRobinson Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 FYI – you can put a Dutch Oven in your kamado grill ... or, if you insist, your kitchen oven (ick ...) ... also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done quite a bit of Dutch oven cooking in the kamado and suspended over a pit but am really interested in doing more by mounding coals on and around the pot. I enjoy the process as much as the food. Maybe more. Boater and dh14ster 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives you yet another excuse to play in the fire - something primitive and satisfying about that. (jk) Completely agree. One thing I miss on kamados is the fire control - I just don't mess with the fire bed nearly as much as with some other grills I've had. Arrange it to begin with, and let it ride. Almost like cheating it's so much easier. philpom and CentralTexBBQ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how much experience you have with mounding coals on and around the pot, but here is a YouTube play list that shows how to do a lot of that. dh14ster and philpom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing back memories of all the times I never herded cattle, roped steers, spent the night out on the range, sleeping on a blanket with my saddle as a pillow... philpom and dh14ster 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much easier does it need to be? dh14ster and lnarngr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did own a quarter horse named Trigger when I was a kid and let him slurp root beer off my hand after he spent a day harassing the dairy cows next door. Our honeymoon included horseback riding through the backcountry. That counts for something right? He was like a giant puppy. Cooking with fire, that's where it's at!

Mrs. philpom likes to watch Kent's videos for cobbler/pie/casserole dishes to cook while we are up at our cabin. Kent is not far from us just north across the boarder in Oklahoma.
