"PromoSM" 😝

Hey Genevieve, absolutely loved this video! Totally engaging and stimulating video. I love your Wood Fired cookbook and cover recipes on my own YouTune channel. Just love the foraging too, that guy is a true expert. That fire you assembled is just amazing... love it! The mushroom recipe is just heavenly! Yes, utterly delicious! Keep up the great work. James

Can’t wait to try this, such a great idea. What temp did you aim for on the Weber throughout the cook?

Gotta love the 5am starts, what we do for good eats, eh? I'm in the UK too, excited to get BBQ season in full swing and put the Big Joe through its paces.

I burn in a wood stove and the best part of the top down method is no smoke comes out of the stove due to the heat being close to the flu pipe and creating a draft quicker even when it’s 10 degrees Fahrenheit out.

I switched to this method in my wood stove, but found that it only worked about 90% of the time. Too often, the kindling on top would burn up without spreading down, leaving, literally, a hot mess. So I went back to my Timburn steel/ceramic starter with the creosote-busting liquid. It costs about 80 cents a pop, which is a bummer, but it always works and is supposed to be good for my chimney. Nice video, though.

Cool

You can actually add almost any vegetable to bread provided you mash it first. It counts towards the recipe as about 90% water, depending a bit on exactly what you're adding.

Absolutely love this cookbook, which I've covered a review of on my own YT channel, including recipes. Thanks for the inspiration Genevieve, I'm a big fan of your work. Superb video & editing, I appreciate the effort gone into this. Keep up the great work. I also want to wish you a happy & prosperous New Year for 2022. James

been using this method since I was a lad, my elder brother taught me this method he was a clever guy and a bush crafter, sadly he died at 29 years old many years ago, whenever I light a fire I think of him with fond memories of our wild camping trips. this method is the best way without doubt.

Blimey...it works!

Good on ya mate

I was rather hoping to see the set-up for the pancakes... 🙂

How long did it burn?

Genevieve, this is going to blow your mind: Only today have I heard of the top-down fire. I just bought a Solo Stove (it burns wood), and have read that you pack it full of wood and light it from the top. Whaaat? Newsflash, guys, heat rises! I need my Vaseline cotton ball at the bottom, with a spark from my ferro rod, and then quick hands to add the tinder, then kindling, then bigger wood--you know the drill. I'm so glad I ran across your video, explaining how the tiny embers at the top filter down into the cracks below. There's a whole new world out there, and a new beginning for me!!

Good job!!!.Very important info. Wranglerstar, who got top You Tube award for best channrl worldwide in 2013 or 4 and who has been outdoorsman and prepper his whole life, just did a video about learning that he's been starting fires wrong his whole life!!!

What a great video! We also have a Mezzo 76 that we had built into our garden but we’ve not had the guts to attempt to insulate and render it ... until now! You seem to make it look quite easy and within our grasp even though neither myself or my wife have any building skills (we hit a builder to do the initial build but can’t seem to find one who’s prepared to do the insulation). We’ve just had a copy of your book as a Xmas present so can’t wait to try out your recipes once the spring comes 😋😋😋

Why are you putting onions in a Paella 😱🤣

Love the terminology, turn the fire upside down! Nearly put the caton top! I do this on a much smaller scale for my Pizza oven, in which I follow your cookbook ?;^D

Great work Genevieve! These look amazing & love the sauce! I’ve covered your old cookbook on my YT channel with you Cambodian Curried Mussels! I didn’t realise you had another book come out

good job, sad thing is we cant all do this :( first in canada we dont all have backyards like yours and nice neighboors, second we dont know the craft of building things like this.

Must get this book for our glamping site as we have a kotlich and dutch oven. Thanks for this video :)

Look goooood :¬)
