Ski resort tailgate tacos and coconut cake!
Snowboarding or skiing all day makes you really hungry which is a fact that ski resorts know how to capitalize on. We wouldn't have been happy with sandwiches and chips from the glove box, so I decided to grill filet mignon over hardwood charcoal for steak street tacos! We also warmed up some rotisserie chicken from Costco and I baked an extra delicious coconut cake! I used the Firebox Ultra Cook Kit--actually, I used two kits, the 8 inch and the 10 inch. I was juggling the components throughout the process--I even used a shallow 10 inch plate as a pedestal for the cake.
The Baking Setup: I used the 10 inch cook kit with a pizza stone (We hope to have them available in 2 to 3 months). There is enough space between the frying pan and the deep cowboy plate for the Pizza Stone to be stored as well as used in the same position as a heat sink to prevent the bottom of your cake from getting burned. On top, I have my shallow cowboy plate being used as my Dutch oven lid with the Hot Coals Rack to prevent the highly conductive surface of the Ultra Cook Kit from sapping the heat out of the hot coals which can cause them to go out. The Coal Rack Also raises the charcoal as to allow more air to keep the charcoal stoked.
In Hind Sight: Considering the cold breeze I should've used more charcoal on top.
New Camera! I used an Insta 360 one X2 with a Rode Wireless Go mic for all of the action shots. Let me know in the comments what you think of this new way of capturing the moment.
Thanks a ton! Steve

Hard Top Over Landing Table: (In Stock!) These are a limited edition premium version, due to the high cost of the Epicurean cutting board material, the time in assembly and the high cost to ship these beauties. www.fireboxsto... Ultra Cook Kit Coal Stoking Rack: (In Stock!) The Ultra Cook Kit is made of Hard Anodized Aluminum which is such a highly conductive material that it can pull the heat out of hot coals fast enough to put them out (unless there's a good breeze keeping them stoked). www.fireboxsto... Folding Chefs knife: (2 to 6 months) Have you ever tried cutting hard vegetables with a bush craft knife?... I set out to make a nice chef's knife folder that would fit in the Ultra Cook Kit along with my other cooking tools. My pre-production prototype works great! I opted for a more premium knife steel which has slowed down production a bit but we're hoping to have them later this year.
Mitch Jenkins Custom Knives: (1 to 2 months) I've been working with Mitch Jenkins (Local Knife Maker) for quite a while working on different design ideas. We finally decided it would be best to let the customers choose and customize their own knives to their individual preferences. He has been working on some sample knives so we can show the options he plans to offer. We hope to have his offerings available within a month or two.
Firebox Wind Screens: (2 - 6 months) We designed custom wind screens to meet the size requirements for both the Nano Stove and the 5 inch Firebox Stoves. They are very light weight and compact.
