This looks and sounds fantastic! (Probably not the best idea to look at those stunning photographs while hungry, but alas!) We in South Africa have a pretty big "Braai" (BBQ) tradition with some people doing it every day. I love to braai - essentially BBQ but over wood coals. This sounds like the perfect community and opportunity to write down my steak and other recipes! (Love to cook with cast iron pots over the fire as well!) Looking forward to sharing and reading from others with the same BBQ (or Braai) passions.
Awesome! I am glad you found this place. There is a guy who used to be really active on here named @braaiboy. I follow him on Instagram, but I haven't seen him post in a while, maybe I just haven't been looking closely enough. I think cast iron would be acceptable as long as it is on some kind of grill. I'll look forward to seeing your posts!
Thanks for creating this place and space! Looking forward to seeing what takes place on other people's grills!
Yes, I live close to him! But I have yet to visit his bar - I think he is the head chef there if I am not mistaken.
For sure, when we grill a steak and some chicken, we always use the cast iron skillet to cook either onions (caramelised) or potatoes (fried) with the extra coals!
Happy grilling!
I'm looking forward to it was well. I hope we get some good shots and stories. I may not look like it, but I am a total amatuer comapred to some folks! I want to start doing some more open fire cooking on our camping trips in the future.
This will then hopefully become a great space to share skills and ideas with others, and then learn as well. Never cease to be a scholar, and learn from others. Open coal cooking is really fascinating and a skill to learn. I have been doing it for the last 20 or so years (as we in South Africa are taught from a very early age to cook over open coals).

That sounds like a good plan! I am travelling throughout the country, as my fiance is in PTA and I live in CPT, and I work on contract for various universities. Flying back to Cape Town next week on Friday, I think. But will check if I can drop a visit next week. Will contact you soon! Nou gaan ons braai.
@fermentedphil! @braaiboy likes your content! so I just sent 1 BBH to your account on behalf of @braaiboy. (2/20)

Thanks for the shoutout !LUV
Yeah, every time I get into a bit of active blogging here on HIVE (or on Web2.0 for that matter), then life gets in the way. I get behind with 2 or 3 posts that catching up seems like a whole day's work, and then when I look again I go weeks & months without posting ANYTHING #FacePalm.
I should just learn to let the posts/content that I missed stay behind, and post the new stuff... I'm literally able to "create content" every day... it's the editing & publishing part that takes the time.
Hopefully that changes soon. Got a new sponsor onboard backing my YouTube channel from next Year... so now I'll be paid (i.e. read forced) to publish weekly content at the very least ;-)

That's awesome about the sponsor! This time of year I kind of wish I had content sitting in the hopper that I could share. Things tend to slow down a bit for me in the Winter as far as traveling and things like that. I like to keep it fun and if it starts feeling like a job, then I just let it go.

Couldn't have said it better myself!
