Same thing here as well for the last two weeks. Been so hot, you can set your watch by the late afternoon/evening, little thunderstorm. It's a guarantee.

Guys, this does constitute a fire pit post, lol , 'cause I threw some hardwood coals from my fire pit into the grill with the Kingsford...for the leg qtrs. But ya know something...ain't nothing like a good ol relaxing afternoon with a cold one, grill going, listening to tunes. My preference today is as follows...Marshall Tucker Band and Atlanta Rhythm Section.

Happy grillin and cookin folks.

Onion potatoes tomorrow night I geuss. I am still gonna pout some more about not having potatoes and make the wife feel guilty about it

Downpours prevented a fire so I used the Dutch oven on the grill instead.



Complemented with some grilled squash.


Finger lickin' good.

Not a fire pit pic but results of cooking on one. Made two batches of lasagna while camping this weekend. Gas grill was the only place to set it on since there was 15 of us.

Last night at my friend's cabin in the Adirondacks.

Haven't had a fire in months. Supposed to cool down a bit later this week. Maybe a nice fire is in order then!

Got a night time shot finally.

 

[trukn2004]

had another fire last night. More pine scraps, but i put it some beech limbs and a chunk of dead ash. Loved getting out and enjoying a fire and a glass of wine with the wife.

If you don't mind can you list details in making and burning one of those?

Reggie, a Swedish candle is easy. You make chain saw cuts from the top down in a log that is standing on its end. You can see them in that picture. Then you add small starter materials to the center where all of the cuts intersect and light them. Because the heat has no place to escape, the fire soon starts to burn into the log itself and looks just like that picture. Note, rip cuts in a log can dull a chain fast. You definitely want to start with a nice dry round of firewood.
