The wife and I have been busy experimenting with my homemade pizza oven. In a perfect world, I’d have ten lids and make a series of ovens, each one an improvement over the last. But we don’t live in that world, so I’m figuring out how to best cook inRead more
I’ve complained about online recipes before, but there’s another thing that I just don’t understand. When someone writes a recipe, they go to great lengths to document every step. They quantify the ingredients, they explain the steps involved, and, if they go the extra mile, they tell you what canRead more
Trout is pretty easy to come by in South Carolina. It’s pretty cheap, too. Yet, for some unknown reason, I almost never buy it. I decided I’d finally learn how to cook whole trout. I remembered seeing a great-looking recipe in Bon Appétit that featured bacon-wrapped trout, so I thoughtRead more
Trader Joe’s sells a bag of shredded cruciferous vegetables. The medley includes kale, brussels sprouts, broccoli, and red and green cabbage. These are vegetables that I hated to eat as a kid. Even as an adult, I wouldn’t normally eat these vegetables raw. I picked up a bag on aRead more

In my last post, I explained that I wanted to create an accessory that would allow me to cook Neapolitan-style pizzas on my kettle grill. My goal was to have the means to make high quality pizzas on impulse (impulse meaning within a couple of hours). And since you canRead more
I got excited when I first read about the release of a grill component that claims to turn your standard 22.5” kettle grill into a neapolitan-style baking oven. The product is called the KettlePizza. It’s a pretty simple design. Weekend warriors have been making homemade components and augmentations like thisRead more
I’m a huge fan of corned beef and pastrami. Most people don’t realize that pastrami is just corned beef that has been rubbed and smoked. My problem with grocery store deli pastrami is that the meat is mushy, the fat at the edges is chewy like a rubber band, andRead more
I recently experimented with making my own corned beef from scratch. The main reason I did it was to make good corned beef hash. I even made a big batch of corned beef and cabbage just to boil the potatoes to use later in the hash. If you’ve only everRead more
I recently experimented with making my own corned beef from scratch. In honor of Saint Patrick’s Day, I used the fresh corned beef to make traditional corned beef and cabbage. It was easily the best corned beef and cabbage I’ve ever had. It was also the only corned beef andRead more
My job involves staying up to date with social media trends. As part of that effort, I keep a Hobby Blog. It’s mostly a public scrapbook for my friends and family. I also keep a travelogue of my outdoor adventures at C.C. Hikes.
