Chiminea Chicken

Yesterday morning the weather was lovely, so I decided I was going to make the tea outside. When I left work, it turned horrible. I got a chiminea a few weeks ago but I have only managed to light it a few times because of the weather. I hadn't originally intended to cook with it but it turns out they are very good for this. I cooked some lovely skewers of steak and prawn with chilli sauce not long after I got it but the blog wasn't around then. I'll revisit them sometime and share the joy on here. Anyway, on to the chicken...

I used...

4 x chicken breasts (2 each)

8 x rashers of bacon

A bit of cream cheese

Garlic (a clove for each)

Rosemary

Salt

Black pepper

Da's work christmas do

To start this thing off and in the absence of sunshine, here's what my dad and his mates did at work at christmas.

This is a gas bottle with a bit cut out, some scaffy tubes for legs and a chimney as well! They've gone for a stew in a suspended pot, but you could easily hoy a grill on and do some chops. Well done lads.





Hello

Hello everyone! Summer's (supposedly) here and it's time for barbecues. I've always loved a nice barbecue, the smell, the flavour, fire and of course the beer. As this blog grows it will document all of my exploits with outdoor cooking, not just barbecue. I hope to explore different cooking methods, techniques and recipes that lend themselves to outdoor cooking.

Despite being May, the weather is shite. I've only managed two outdoor sessions so far this year. Hopefully this will improve soon and I can get some quality posts up (and food down).

Here is a picture of my soaking wet, unkempt (can't cut grass in the wet) garden:

I know that was crap and boring but I need to see what pictures look like on this and to see if the background image displays better when there's a bit of length to the blog.

I promise, as soon as the sun shines, there'll be some stuff going up.
