Fire Pizza
I use my round cast iron flat griddle a lot. When I make pizza on the grill I use it to make a flat bread, pushing the yeast dough out after the first rising/knockdown, then cooking both sides well on the flat griddle before adding sauce and cheese. Make sure both sides of the flatbread are browned well and then put the side down you want to brown into a good crust, and quickly add tomato sauce and cheese to the top. You are using the flat griddle to make a flat bread which is then turned into a pizza with the addition of the other ingredients.
I try to mae do with basic ingredients when I can, and the cans they pile up, so instead of using canned ingredients for a sauce I just quick fry some thin tomato slices with thin onion and pepper slices in olive oil, adding any seasonings at that time like oregano. I put this homemade pizza "sauce" on the flatbread pizza crust, then I sprinkle on parmesan cheese.

How To Make Easy Bamboo Cooking Tongs
These were made from some bamboo I salvaged from a curtain bought at a craft store. I never used the curtain because all the string holding the pieces together was bad. I felt fortunate I did not spend a lot of time on a project using the bamboo as a curtain, and THEN find out the string was bad.
I put two flats together, and wired the top tightly, so it looked kind of like a whole branch of bamboo. Then I pushed a rock into the V formed by opening the two pieces, making sure it went as far toward the wired end as possible. Then I used heat shrink tubing to hold it altogether. These are some of my handiest tools at the grill.

Welcome To The Thorn Fire Bakery Grill -- Mesquite Fire Cooking
All types of cooking will be undertaken at the Thorn Fire youtube channel, which this blog corresponds to, and all using wood fire flame. The loaves of bread you see here were done before I finished the ovens, and were actually cooked in a covered cast iron frying pan on a regular grill. There will be a video or two concerning this type of baking in the future. The other stuff pictured here is fried chicken breasts, mushrooms, and shrimp, breaded in a simple flour/baking powder/salt and pepper mix. I find that with flame and peanut oil a superior deep fried product is obtainable.
The youtube videos are the main agenda but posts will be made here fairly often too. I was tempted to list all my restaurant jobs, but that list would be lengthy, tawdry, tedious, and of little interest to anybody with anything better to do, which is just about everyone I would think. So here is the youtube channel and the videos will be added as they happen. Thanks for checking this out and I hope you find it useful.
