We’ve covered how I got the idea for my homemade pizza oven and how I designed and built it. Now it’s time to cover how it works. A little experiment I’m working on. I'll test it tomorrow night and blog the results. Could be a game-changer. pic.twitter.com/q4ZnQ4FXO6 — Chad ChandlerRead 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 built a traditional flower box at my old house. Over the seven years I lived there, I had to mend it at least three times. By the time we moved, it was so rotten that I simply threw it away. I wanted to make a new kind of flowerRead 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
As I’ve mentioned before, I have a fridge in my new basement that I’ve dedicated to curing and aging meats. As part of that hobby, I thought I’d make some corned beef. I prepared it according to the instructions at AmazingRibs.com, which is a great resource for learning the howsRead more
One of my favorite meals to eat is the meat and cheese sampler from The Lazy Goat in Greenville, SC. I love well-prepared charcuterie and antipasti. What I don’t love is the price. What makes the cured/dried versions of otherwise affordable meats so expensive is the skill it takes toRead 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.
