Fire after all is a tricky beast. Interested in the history behind these ancient oven designs and outdoor cooking in general?

I chat with some amazing folks that blow me away with their outdoor cooking, as I go searching for the best inside tips and advice to both supercharge our cooking skills and motivate you to crank up your favourite outdoor cooking gear this weekend.
