Fireplace cooking

Thanks everyone. Seems like my idea is one that many have had luck with. I am going for it this coming weekend. I have a Dutch oven, cast pans, a camping grill (grate with legs) and a large cast griddle. I have to get used to working that close to the ground, but I think that this could be a great start to something. Thanks again!
 
this was my saturday afternoon cook.

Chuck roast and veggies in my great grandmothers cast iron with red oak in the fire. First time doing it this way but will not be my last.
 
That looks awesome. I am glad I asked about this. Apparently "all of the cool kids are doing this."
 
I dont know anything about the fireplace but i love some SOA

It is easier that most people realize.
Two things that I did not see posted
1. Depending on your flue (I have a cast iron flue in my Isokern) you may be able to clip an S hook and a length of chain to hang dutch ovens. I have found that helps to be able to slide the pot closer to fire if needed.
2. Try screwing a screw-eye into your ceiling and suspend a chicken on a string. Dont forget a pan for drippings. spin the chicken every 10 minutes or so and keep a hot fire.
