    I put a seasoned roast, carrots, potatoes and onions in the slow cooker this morning and picked up a #8 cast iron pan at the scrapyard. I got it cleaned up and ready. About 5:00 pm I started the mud oven on white cedar and sugar maple. Some oak was added after a while, and it heated for 45 minutes.

    The coals were spread around to heat the oven floor.

    Loaded and the water-soaked wood door went up. Here the rolls are done in 20 minutes.

    Pie was done about 45 minutes later.

    It was a great recipe. It could have used a bay leaf though.

    Perfect meal with the cooler temps! :drool:

    Once the wind direction changes from Scotty Overkill s place, up to the NE, I suspect a drooling hound will be pictured, if DaveGunter gets it in time. :ithappened:

    I find this a day later and the smell is still in the air. :drool::drool: Looking good as usual. I really like the way the rolls turned out.
