We have a swing grill and we put it to good use. We cook steaks, pork chops, boston butt, ribs, and chicken wings over an open fire. We also use one of the pans with the holes in it and put in onions, potatoes, or whatever veggie we have and throw it on the grill too. No veggies, we just open a can of pork n beans and sit it close to the fire to warm it up. Our secret to a lot of our cooking is that we use a huge aluminum pan to cover our food so it cooks faster and we get more of the oak flavor in our food. If it is just too hot for a fire then we break out the baby Q.
