I love to cook over real fire! Whether on a gas grill, charcoal grill, smoker grill, fire pit or even in my fireplace, cooking with fire is fun and creates unique and delicious aromas and flavors that enhance many foods greatly. But by far my very favorite way to cook is over a real hardwood firewood fire. While good charcoal and smoker cooking can certainly give you some nice char-broiled wood flavors, there is nothing quite like a real wood fire. There is something very primitive and romantic about it, harking back to pre-modern times when food was all cooked over an open wood fire. Most people do not take advantage of real wood to cook anymore because technology has made things easier for us...

With spring just around the corner, it's time to start looking forward to our favorite outdoor activities, and nothing says springtime like the aroma of succulent foods cooking on a barbecue. The majority of American households sport an outdoor grill, but few people seem to realize how much more flavorful their barbecued foods could be if they just added one often overlooked grilling accessory: natural aromatic wood for an authentic smoke taste. Before the barbecue, wood smoke was what was used to cook meats and vegetables over an open fire. The wood smoke enhanced the taste of grilled foods much more than either gas or charcoal. Using wood is easy and rewarding, in many cases replacing the need for...

Jerk is a traditional style of Jamaican cooking. The name (in fact both the words "jerk" and "jerky" actually comes from the Quechua native American language word, "charqui", which means dried meat - the idea being to cook thin strips of meat over a smoking open fire so as to preserve the meat. Today, however jerk recipes are instead cooked on a charcoal barbecue grill, or failing that in a normal kitchen oven, and the word "jerk" is used to refer to the style of cooking and preparation and the use of spices in the dish. The key ingredient of jerk dishes is "jerk spice". This is actually a mix of several different spices, including Jamaican allspice (also known as "pimento" or "pimenta") and Scotch...

Bbqs outdoors are popular all around the planet. They are enjoyed for the comradeship as well as the good food. Bbqs can be informal family get-togethers or complicated culinary competitions.

n’t be long before school’s out and the summer holidays are approaching. My kids are already packing the RV, we’re not even going for another two weeks but I can’t dampen their spirits. I’ve still got a good few days left of work so I can’t afford to let myself go yet but just as I see the excitement in the kids’ eyes I know that I’ll be the same once I get the portable grill out of the garage. I love to camp in Europe not just because of the freedom to go anywhere but also because of the myriad of interesting people that I meet on the way. Walk around the campsite anytime after 1.00pm and you’ll start to see the smoke rising as the families...

irst meat that I ever wanted to cook on a barbecue was a chicken using the rotisserie and I’ve never really stopped to think about why. I guess it’s down to “the boy with a new toy” mentality in that the BBQ spit came in the pack with the grill and a rotisserie cooking process adds dynamism. Looking back not only is it visually appealing but also the spit does the work for you leaving plenty of time beer or two! Maybe I did one too many beers on that first cookout because the results weren’t quite up to standard. I tried to light my grill with paper and wood which sent ash all over the chicken. I didn’t balance the chicken very well on the spit so one side cooked...

or cooking on the barbecue and smoker is now becoming a serious leisure pastime. Certainly in England where the weather is not altogether reliable, the advent of wonderful contraptions such as umbrellas and patio heaters has made outdoor cooking an extremely pleasurable recreation. In fact so much so that you’ll see people lighting the barbecue in all weathers – a funny lot those English! Speaking as one of that “funny lot”, an extremely enthusiastic fan of outdoor cooking and now a creator and purveyor of outdoor bbq recipes and free smoker recipes I thought is was I did some research into the subject of my chosen fuel of fun. What concerns me is that I’m thoroughly...

Although some cookbooks are helpful and the pictures make us drool, watching a real live person cooking a meal is much more exciting! Since it isn't very likely that one of the food channels will send a chef to my house, the best I can do is turn on my television. How awesome to watch these professional chefs preparing and cooking my favorite foods. Wouldn't it be great if there were "smell-a-vision"? Every day when I am asking myself what I should prepare for a family meal, I turn on the television and look through the channels for one that is showing a chef preparing something to eat. Very seldom do I even look in the tons of cookbooks that are getting dusty on the shelf in my kitchen. From the...

One of the best things about summer is being able to throw a party in the backyard. Whether it be a family BBQ, a graduation of Father's day party of even a 4th of July festival, summer parties are awesome. I love stringing up tiki lights, dreaming up a theme and whipping up the food. Since I can fit more people in my outdoor space than inside my house, I can invite more people. Something about the sultry summer air just invites people to linger and chat. For Father's day, grill some steaks or ribs with a side or corn to show dad you love him. For a graduation party a stack of burgers will keep the young adult crown happy. For dessert, consider homemade ice cream on top of warm brownies. Top them...

My friend Harley has always loved southern barbeque and just about anything you could cook on a barbecue grill. His story is one that celebrates the spirit of a man to get back up when life has knocked him down. When I first met him about all we talked about was barbeque ideas and the best barbeque recipes to use at any given time of year. We also discussed the virtues of charcoal grills over electric or gasoline cookers. He was obsessed with anything that had to do with cooking over a hot smoky fire. We would see each other from time to time and you could always smell the aroma of barbecue smoke on his body and clothes, with fragrant wisps of whatever kind of meat he had been cooking over the...
