The instructions said 900 degrees for naan.  900 degrees sounded pretty hot, so this time I went for inferno mode.  Crikey, this thing was going.  15 to 20 seconds a side - done. We cheated and pre did the potatoes and caramelized the onions on the stovetop.  Chan finished the naan by painting them with melted Ghee and garlic.  Used the outdoor grill for the chicken dish.  They left us with a full rack of super nice Indian spices so we were good to go there.  I forgot about the in-belly expansion phenomena and overdid it - by a lot.  There is simply no way to moderate with Indian food.

Awsome! Thats when its good to have a stew or slow cook meat. Once you have built up a fire like that it will stay hot for hours.
 Going to cook lunch on mine soon. Got to love a woman that wants steak and potatoes for Valentines day.

Heat the Weber briquettes up. Throw them in with some wood. That gets up to 300°C pretty quick. Trays of veggies in and the steak is sitting ready to go.

Mine came with a divider. You can push the coals to one side. As you said the great thing is you can use the oven in different ways. I started the veggies in the oven but 15-20 mins in the pizza oven gives them a great flavour.
 Steak, pumpkin,sweet potato, potatoes, stuffed mushrooms, garlic! Loads of leftovers for dinner or lunch tomorrow.

It's the CookZone. I've been cooking up a storm here, but that's not because I've got a great toy to use, just COVID and no restaurants. I guess I could go, but I'd be by myself and be confined to- and sleeping in the far corner of the house for 14 days. the lady be strict.

I am looking forward to whipping up a Pizza oven and firing up my megasmoker. I don't know exactly what I should do with a smoker that can do 30 briskets at a time, but I'll think of something.

The wave right out front was looking super fun today.  Chan got some great SUP rides before the wind kicked up.  Shortboards were doing well inside.  Pretty cool as we had previously always stayed up in El Sargento and I had never considered this place for any waves.  It is actually reasonably consistent.  Bonus!

Nice wave, a little offshore breeze to clean it up. Have you seen Sam Pae's boogie foilboard. He screwed up his ankles (I think, he's been a bit obscure about the issue) and can't do SUP foil anymore. He's fallen in love with foiling like superman. The way my balance and knees are going, I might have a few of these in my future.





He also did this with a salvaged busted wavestorm:
