Firebox Rib-eye

The weather forcast last night was for blue sky and sunshine, so packed haversack and made plans !
Early start, Porrage then took Brenda into town to the shoe mines/hand bag quarries
Came back and it's getting darker and darker then windscreen wipers on full chat for a hail storm.
I'd wanted to try out a new fuel spotted in the twice a month solid fuel run to the coal yard in Settle N.Yorks

http://www.woodfuel-direct.co.uk/technical-informationI decided to carry out the trial in the back garden as the hail had changed to a rain downpour but no wind,
so cut one in half giving x2 at 5" at 9oz each

 I rolled some Birch bark into each and lit it at 13:30, like a fuze but it didn'l light them

 so I dropped some lit Birch bark down the sides at 13:35

                        by 13:40 it was burning well

 not knowing the fuel I waited till 14:00 and the Bear opened the Bar

 apart from burn it didn't alter much so at 14:15 I put the skillet on

                                 then the Rib-eye

                         14:25 cheers All and a flip

 

14:26 Perfect 

the Firebox was still burning well

 so waited till 15:00

and broke the Hotties up with a poker

 

and put the Boil plate and the Stanley on with 10 Oz. water

 15:10 made the brew no soot on the Stanley

Firebox still pumping heat as I watched the Moon rise

Still going at 15:30

I think I'll try it with x2 1/4 pieces next time,
