Pizza In The Fireplace

 Homemade pizza is the best kind, because we get to construct the perfect pie with our own hands. Even better is cooking the pizza in your fireplace, because you get that brickstone smokiness that is usually only found in restaurants. Follow the tips below for  the best fireplace pizza...

Any barbeque wood makes excellent cooking wood. Oak, nut woods, hickory, pecan, fruit wood, apple wood, cherry, peach, even dried corncobs can be used. Personally, I prefer oak or pecan. Fortunately, I have four pecan trees in my yard. This is a good way to use up tree trimmings.

Cook The Best Steak In Your Fireplace

 Do you love steak? Do you own a fireplace? If you answered yes to both, then you have all the ingredients for an awesome night in. The following article is filled with tips on what type of cut to cook and how.

Tuscans like their steaks rare, and this bible-thick Porterhouse spends just enough time over a charcoal or wood fire—often in the fireplace—to sear the exterior dark and crusty while leaving the center still mooing. In a perfect world, you’d start with dry-aged Chianina, a massive breed of white cattle native to Tuscany, seasoned profligately with coarse salt and pepper, and drizzled with green Tuscan extra virgin olive oil. The meat juices and oil form the sauce. Lemon wedges optional.

Fireplace Cooking Safety

 As we head into a colder season, we look for more ways to stay warm indoors. One fun activity that will keep you warm is cooking in your fireplace. Before you start, be sure to practice fireplace safety with the following tips...

• Use fruit wood. Although the cooking happens over hot embers after the fire has died down, fruit woods will impart a subtle flavor to the food. Other types of well-seasoned wood are fine, except for pine, which is too smoky.
