    My bud told me to cook a steak over an open wood fire.  I fought the idea but I tried it with a fat rib-eye. Did like 4min one side 5 the other. It had some serious char on it. A little blue cheese crumbles.
    Would do it again just 2 to 3 min per side. 
    Burned the heck out of my potatoes from those flare ups :/

    Small, but tasty.  Love Mezcal.
    The oysters were mild, and my wife and I devoured them.   Very good,!

    My pot roast came out great. I froze most of it in single serving containers. It will be great on those cold nights I don’t feel like cooking.

    What cut of meat? what do you add?
    I recently got a Dutch oven, do my cooking outside. Think this will turn out great in there.

    You can use either chuck or bottom round. I used bottom round this time because the butcher told me it was a bit leaner. But I have used chuck in the past as well. Both cuts have to be cooked low and slow for them to get really tender. I cooked this for about 3 hours at 350. the meat should be 3.5-4 pounds. I first seared the meat on the stovetop in olive oil and added 2 cut onions and 3 smashed cloves of garlic, and a Tbs of tomato paste. When those started to cook I added 1 cup of red wine, 2 cups of beef broth, 1 tsp thyme and 2 bay leaves. Brought that to a simmer and then transferred to the 350 degree oven for 1.5 hours and then put in a pound of the small red potatoes and a package of baby carrots and cooked another 1.5 hours. Added the peas near the end. 

    If yoi make it outside let me know how it came out.

    ^will. Thanks for the details. Wouldn't think of the wine, bay leaves, thyme or order of adding stuff. Last time I cooked a stew the potatoes got over cooked a bit. :)

    The wine is a must. The alcohol cooks off, but it really adds a rich flavor. I used a cabernet sauvignion. The order matters because the meat has to cook longer than the potatoes and carrots. It's a really easy recipe, but you have to follow the timing.

    Used beer instead of wine. Ketchup.instead of tomato paste. Will be done in 3ish hours. Looks great. I might have to add more beer or water if it cooks off. Hard to judge 350 on a fire. Also added mushrooms.

    super good. Was a little salty so added 2 more cups of water. Prob 2+ beers total. Potatoes and carrots not overcooked because added half way through. 
    Good cooking lesson GG. The hot peppers add a touch of heat. Really good.
