Doug, good for you! I haven't ventured to "real coals" yet, partially because of lack of time and partially because we only have pine around here. I don't want all the pitch that pine puts on an oven. I have considered buying a couple bags of mesquite charcoal and practice with that. I hear that it's an art to be good with real coals. I believe that the chuckwagon cookoffs only allow real coals. It makes their breads all the more impressive.

Actually Joanne...I'm working on not using charcoal or gas, just coals in the campfire for DO cooking...but I gotta learn first, without wasting a lot of eats. Mt. man breakfast with fire coals is really easy...baking, I find is more difficult to control with fire coals. My excuse..."it's not burned...just carmelized" and anyone can whup me at waffles...I borrowed Kevins iron that Dean seasoned and Joanie made the batter...they just made me look good!!!! Doug
