First time cooking in my firebox

jwtseng · Nov 15, 2015

It's a little cramped in there with the charcoal basket and all, but my spiral grill top fit in there perfectly and I was able to put together a nice meat and potatoes meal for me and the Mrs...

Got a nice prime grade NY strip on sale and a bag of good ole russet potatoes...

Here's the NY strip with some SPGO wet-aging in a vac-bag for a few days:

Ahhh...out of the bag:

Preheating the spiral grill in my firebox:

A couple minutes on each side:

Here are the spuds all prepped and salted:

Hasselbacking the potatoes in the smoker:

Here's the finished dish... Woodfire-grilled NY Strip with Hasselback Potatoes:

I really like the potatoes. Do you do that with just a regular knife?

Thanks Y'all! For the potatoes, just use a regular chef's knife. I brace each potato with a wooden spoon or spatula on each side. Then cut straight down until the knife encounters the spoon on both sides. The spoons keep the knife from cutting all the way through the bottom of the potato.

As the potato cooks, it will begin to fan out. Baste often with melted butter so it gets into every nook and cranny. Yum!

Thanks for the compliment!

I got the 14" spiral grill off Etsy...it's handmade in India by way of Wisconsin, if I remember correctly. Great heavy duty quality.

Click on the pic and it will take you to the Etsy page.

Here's another pic...different cook, same grill over a bed of charcoal...
