Wood fired oven - mac n' cheese.

So my buddy at work mentions this dish from a local tavern in NH. It is a mac n cheese with pulled pork on top. I've yet to try it, but the description was worthy of trying to make it.

I fired the oven on cedar splits and then added small oak and elm splits.



It took about 45 minutes to get to temp and my wife prepped the main dish. I raked the coals out to soak heat into the floor of the oven. There were some nice coals to move around



I put baked beans in a crock and cornbread was put up in a pan. Into the oven they went for about 45 minutes and we're rotated half way through. Checking in on things.



Everything was piping hot and the cheese and beans were bubbling over.



This will be a good meal this fall. It is definitely a keeper.

 

I only thought I was hungry before logging on FHC... now I'm starving!

Looks good!

 

Nice Jon.
Am I seeing a little ham in that M&C?

 

Not ham, although ham would have been excellent. It is pan fried hot dogs. Momma bear did not have coffee before shopping this morning, and kielbasa did not make it into the cart. I did not argue the point though.

 

Gooder enough. Love M&C with HDs and beans. The corn bread is just icing on the rest.

 

Thanks , looks good, now I gotta get another pork shoulder to smoke, so I could make this!

 

I'd never eat if I did that.

 

That looks tasty.
I'll be making some maybe later this week, probably smoking a boston butt tomorrow

 

That's great news. I'll be looking forward to the build thread and food pictures. I know you love food and fire, so it will be another facet of cooking you will enjoy.

If you can get it built by the fall, I think that is the best time of year to enjoy it. Stews, roasts, pies, rolls, etc. Make it happen brother!
