Default Turkey breast in the fire place

Although it was about 20C yesterday, I HAD to get a fire going in the fireplace to do a maiden run on my indoor BBQ contraption.

I had seen something similar on a website and as we have a large fireplace, I had to try this. Bought the grate and my BIL made the construction after the pictures I had found. The idea was to burn down wood to coals on 1 side of the fireplace and shovel them under the grate.

First attempt was going to be a turkey breast I wanted to cook this week. Rubbed it with Oakridge Pork/Beef competition rub and let it sit in the fridge covered for a few hours. Started my fire and when I had some coals, shoveled them under the grate and put the turkey on.

Learned a few things along the way:

- you can't really measure the ambient temp, it felt a LOT hotter than what I was measuring
- bottom bracket will be good for grilling/searing steak etc, to hot for doing something low n slow so I moved the grate up
- need to watch the placement of the meat, some good amount of heat coming of the roaring fire, had to move it further away

After about 1h15m, the turkey was done, it smelled and looked great. Let it rest for about 10mins and served with some veggies. Tasted excellent.

That is fantastic,
Believe it or not we have cooked in fireplaces often, not with as fine a piece as you have.
Great cook

Awesome!
The house I grew up in had a 2 sided fireplace upstairs, one side open to kitchen the other to living room. Downstairs it just had one side fireplace, but off to the side and up higher it had a grill with rotisserie. Can't remember my parents ever using it! I would kill for that fireplace in my home now! Hell, I'd kill for just a fireplace of any kind in my home.
