Why Use Your Fire Pit To Cook?

There's something wonderfully primal about cooking over an open flame. There's a reason that barbeques are used the world over and most countries have their own traditions around barbeques and open flame cooking.
The fantastic thing about having a fire pit is that it offers more options in the way you cook your food than a traditional barbeque.
And, once you've finished cooking you can throw on a couple more logs and continue sitting around the fire, enjoying good food and good company.

What Fuel to Use?
This matters!
The fuel you use in your fire pit for cooking specifically is an important thing to think about as there are a couple of factors you might want to consider.

Charcoal – charcoal is an ideal fuel source for cooking with your fire pit as it generates the right amount of heat for cooking and maintains that heat well. However, it doesn't add as much flavor as many of the wood-fired options.

Wood – wood has a more traditional feel for cooking outside, think cooking over a campfire. The bonus of using wood is that the smoke generated will slowly add flavor to your food. This can be a wonderful addition depending on what wood you choose.
There are many other hardwoods to choose from, experiment and try different options but please source them responsibly.
