    Since S.O. fired up the pit I said Y not, the steaks came out great, tasted even better. I do need to get the wood for cooking on sooner so I'm cooking over coals, we had some sugar maple with two splits of cherry going.

    You bet it does the fire pit is under a pool of ice right now but a good fire will fix that in a hurry.

    After I took some snow out of the fireplace, I started the fire towards the back then moved it forward so it would melt the ice, job done!

    I can't help it, I'm a sucker for a good steak. You just cannot beat a wood-fired steak......nothing like it.

    Those deer were probably wondering "hey, is everybody still here? Take a head count, I smell something cooking!" ;)

    Looks delicious, bud.......I can taste those steaks from here! I'm with FP.....I never get tired of wood-fired pics!!

    Mmmm, chicken. Pen's white BBQ chicken recipe was pretty good. All this food talk has got me thinking now.

    Tipsy chicken with bourbon and maple glaze maybe.

    We cooked the chicken today, turned out great. I did remove the front & back metal roofing I use beause it was cooking faster then I wanted. I had bech,red oak with some cherry for wood.

    Some of our neighbors came off the back hill when I was cooking.

    Looks great Zap. No time for outdoor cooking this weekend for me. I was looking forward to it too.

    I am curious if anyone has used Beech for smoker wood?

    Nothing wrong with that choice! I use Italian dressing as a marinade now and then and really like the flavor on chicken myself.
