Wonder if we’ll see this technique demonstrated on Good Eats.

The confluence of events that had him looking at his compost pile as a potential oven to cook his food must have been dramatic. Gramma Ray must have gooten mad at him, sent him to the doghouse and told him to “cook his own crappy meals”. To which he replied I’ll do just that.

Okay, so the idea is to burn 15000 calories to prepare a 1200 calorie meal?

Why, again, exactly? Or just because you can?

There are definitely easier ways to cook your dinner.

Trout cooked in manure......

Hey! You could stick a bottle under that and collect all the drippings....put a fancy lable on it....give it a name thats hard to pronounce....and sell it as one of them fancy beers you drink.

They would sell like hotcakes!

Try to avoid using cow manure as it will not heat up as well as horse and you may undercook the trout.

Why do I feel like undercooking is the least of my concern here?

Feeding lumberjacks is a nasty job. You have to make enormous amounts of food, and the cookfires are hot and smokey. No one at the logging camps wants the job. On top of that, lumberjacks often complain about the quality of the vittles. Well, somehow a tradition built up that if a lumberjack complained about the food, he'd end up becoming the new cook. Lumberjacks quickly learned not to complain about the food.

One day a new fella joined the crew and he wasn't happy with his breakfast that first day. "My eggs are runny", he said. Before he knew it, a chef's hat was on his head, and he was being hustled into the kitchen.

Well, his cooking was bad, but no one said anything. Time went on, but he couldn't seem get out of it. He had been cook for quite some time and he started to do it badly on purpose. Still, no one said anything. The poor fellow started to become desperate. Then, one day, he was walking through the woods and he came upon a big fresh moose turd. It was a real steamer. He got an idea, scooped it up and brought it back to camp.

That night, he announced a special desert, and brought out a luscious looking pastry. He dished it up and watched the first lumberjack dig in. The man chewed for a while, then swallowed and gasped, "My God! It's Moose turd pie!!"

Then he added, "Mighty fine one, too."

yeah, but it’d still taste better than your yellow fizzy beer.

:P

And don't forget to raise a glass in honour of Grampa Ray who made this all possible.

I presume that "Grampa Ray" is the name of the horse ....

That’s interesting, I never knew compost could generate heat. I wonder if landfill dumps do, or could be made to.
Could any useful energy be extracted?

Fancy beer? It isn’t fancy if you brew it yourself.... even if it is a Lambic or Double Imperial Stout or Cream Stout, or Double IPA... or whatever.

Dude, you win.

I’ve tried cooking on the engine block with limited success cause the trip was too short. Once when camping, I forgot a pan, so I cooked eggs and bacon on a folding shovel but yours takes the cake.

Unrelated:::: but I was having that conversation with Mrs Envisio last night.

The dog will cut flips and spin around and run clear across the room for a potato chip.

But in this case, I guess they just enjoy doing it. I been known to (quite often) smoke a pork roast all day. Overnight marinating, charcoal and smoker preparation, stoking the fire all day.....
I could easily buy some BBQ pork and save the effort. I just enjoy doing it.

You’re shittin’ me, riiiiiiight?

Vapors will begin to rise and a wonderful aroma will waft amongst the garden rows. This is best experienced at sunrise (or at sunset with an Irish whiskey in hand).

Ode d'manure and Irish whiskey. Sounds about right.

Yep, made for each other.

I’m sure the CLEAN straw makes all the difference when cooking with sh**. This seems so much easier than using my Weber.
