Roast Your Own

The next step in ultimate coffee brewing.

I’ve made two trips to Burns and suspect the brisket may spend more time in a gas oven than near burning wood. Just no smoked taste. The sandwiches are large and the meat is tender but I can get similar results in my...

Woodchuck Wood in Staten Island delivers wood to alot of the city’s BBQ and wood burning pizza places. They usually have a wide variety. I just had a cord of cherry delivered to Queens. Call them and ask about chunks. Ask...

and More (also a convienient place to pick-up 40 pound bags of mesquite). As a certifiable pyromaniac I burn oak and mesquite and don’t find that much flavor from fruit woods - although in an electric smoker the Lazzari...

available here (pecan and walnut) would be too oily and burn too quick. I’ve read that grapevines burn strong but leave a nice light smoke. I’ve got good results from mixing woods (apple/hickory), (hickory/cherry) -...

I actually like Pizzaiolle – they have a wood-burning oven, and while some of the pizzas are a little much, topping-wise, I do like their carciofo (artichoke and black olive) pizza, as well as their disperata (tomato sauce,...

Check out Dufferin Grove Park. They have 2 community wood burning bake ovens and make some of the best bread in the city. I picked up a loaf of rye pumpkin sesame today

, and their chimmichurri sauce is also great. personally, i’m still inclined to stick with regular old royal oak charcoal. burns hot and clean and is a bit easier on my conscience. now where to get some more interesting...

Is there a place in Chicago where I can buy some real lump charcoal and a good variety of smoking woods (chuncks please!) Summer is already here, I brought some with me from the Ozarks, but that should only last me through early...

'm using uses flavorizer bars as heat diffusers. I fill a cast iron box with wood chips (I used to flip one of the bars over and fill it with a pouch of chips, as is often suggested, but bought the box a while back in the hope...

Has anyone ever burned their pizza stone? I’ve had my stone for about 2 years and used it without problem. I always preheat it with the oven, never put soap on it but do use water to clean it. We moved into a new apartment...

I managed to get my hands on a new Brinkmann combo smoker grill for 50 bucks and can’t wait to try it out. Any ideas where I can get wood chips in the Queen West, Parkdale area? I’m also looking for a decent meat...

/granite/soapstone/slate can chip it or crack a slab right in two. You can burn as big and black a hole in Formica or Corian or rubber as you can in wood. You can dent & puncture copper/stainless/zinc. It’s easy to...

The did a test on this recently on Food Detectives and wood won out over plastic. I would recommend burning you plastic cutting boards and smelling up all those lovely fumes!

there shortly after they opened and it was very good. Great bread, good soups, nice thin crust pizza from the wood burning oven. Nice wine list, reasonable prices.
