Kolbaska & StayOut
Hey StayOut, you ever tried cooking over a fire with just a pot and a pinch of luck? I've got a trick that turns even the simplest ingredients into a feast that makes the smoke sing.
Sure, I’ve burned a few pots in my day. What’s the trick, and does it require a lot of smoke or a lot of wood?
Just keep the fire low and steady, like a good conversation. Use a little wood for heat, but then switch to a big chunk of charcoal to keep the smoke mild. Toss in a splash of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and maybe a dash of smoked paprika. Turn the pot every now and then, and you’ll have a smoky aroma without a jungle of smoke. And hey, if you’re worried about fire, keep a bucket of water close by—always better to be safe than sorry.
Sounds doable, but don’t forget the fire‑line. If the charcoal goes hot, it’s a quick exit. Keep that bucket handy, and maybe a shovel for the ashes—just in case. And hey, if the smoke’s too thick, just add a handful of leaves; the wind will carry it off. Give it a try, but I’ll be watching from the edge of the clearing.
