After using mine as a barby a few times , I had to strip the whole thing down to clean it ( its that red thing I posted earlier, above) What a f*ing nightmare !!! Up to my a....se in grease !! They are never to be used as a BBQ , and I never will again. Its going into the shed soon, I've hardly ever used it as a pizza oven, perhaps once or twice , and I could never get the temperature right and pretty much burn the damn pizza. Into the shed it goes and stays. I went back to using my ol' faithful barby that I bought back in the 90's , all cast iron plates and burners, looks rough now, and not too many years left in it , but does a dam good steak HS Edited December 27, 2023 by Handstitched Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

CFM chuck123wapati Posted December 27, 2023 CFM Report Posted December 27, 2023 I've never seen a pizza oven bbq but i have cooked pizza on my bbq, bread on an open fire in Dutch ovens and on a wood fired fire barrel stove with just a dish pan for the oven. its all pretty much the same get it hot first then put in the bread. My bbq has a deep fire box and is adjustable so i can raise or lower the coals. When baking i drop the coals as far down as possible so only the hot air bakes the bread. BBQ baked pizza is the awesomest pizza ever my son says. I do too. the added smoke flavor is just amazing.

Members MarlinDave Posted December 28, 2023 Members Report Posted December 28, 2023 I have been seeing all these ads over the holiday about a solo stove, open top thing, supposed to be smokeless. There is a version with a pizza slot that’s supposed to cook a pizza in 90 seconds. I don’t think a hydrogen bomb could cook a pizza in 90 seconds. Quote

I have this simple box in my kitchen with knobs on, its called an oven LOL , but hardly ' portable' On a foodie program here in Oz I was watching( love cooking shows) , it was in Japan, a bloke in a local park , ( for the Cherry Festival I think) he had takeaway food in a container. He pulled out a cord from the side, and it automatically heat the food up inside the container...wha....? It was ribs and rice from memory , with a sachet of soy sauce. The technology may be similar to heat packs like those used in hospitals , camping etc. Look damn tasty too !

Make your dough roll it into a long piece about afoot long by about an inch round wrap it around a nice willow stick and roast it like a marshmallow over an open fire. My dad used to make biscuits, bread rolls not cookies, on his barrel stove . he would cut 1 inch off the bottom off of several beer cans, set them on the stove, place his biscuit pan on top of them so it wasn't setting directly on the stove top them he would cover them in a dish pan and bake them up. damn fine with some hot country gravy, fried eggs and bacon.

I've never heard of that , but it does sound tasty, it also reminds me of damper, ' bush bread' I call it, just flour & water made into a patty shape-ish normally cooked on open coals, but best in tin foil. ' Hot country gravy, fried eggs an bacon ', I can imagine combining the two, OMG Heres a few pics of those sausage rolls that I made before Christmas. They are nowhere near as good as my Mothers, she made them perfect shape, but just as yummo . They can be made as big or as small as you like, eaten with any sauce you like. . These are a bit over bite size, but once you're had a few they do fill your belly. The uncooked ones can be frozen for later .Thawed, brush with a bit of milk , cook at 180c for about 20-30 mins. The fruit mince pies were frozen from last year, still tasted great, but leaked a bit.

Members MarlinDave Posted December 31, 2023 Members Report Posted December 31, 2023 I built one of the rocket stoves this month. Partly to prepare for rolling blackouts, partly because many of the utube videos on these made no sense with how fires work. Made it out of heavy 4x4 square tube and channel I had on hand. It is for sure not a backpack stove as it weighs 32 lbs. I made about 10 modifications but now it will boil water or fry bacon in 15 minutes with 2 or 3 coffee cans of very dry twigs. Not sure where you get dry twigs in an ice storm. And most of the utube features did not work in real life. The secret weapon is bacon grease and dryer lint to get the fire started. Quote

I like your recipe, i have a bag of cotton balls stuffed with Vaseline in my pack.
