    I've cooked on the charcoal grille many times over the winter but only had a few winter fires in the keyhole pit for steaks. Planning on cooking in the keyhole pit this evening, I'll post up some pics.

    We have yet to have to cook a pizza in the stone oven this year, it needs to be re-seasoned as its been damp from the mountain of rain we received veived this winter.

    Had my first outdoor fire Saturday night after cutting trees only I'm not proud enough to show it, half my bonfire burned! :rofl: :lol:
    I should've lit the other end with the mega torch but I'm also kinda glad it didn't all burn up, high winds on Sunday, it was easier to extinguish that small area. Try again another weekend!

    Yep. I think so. Right now it's just because there's no plants growing yet and all that dead grass in fields.
