    In Germany there is this very old recipe called "Flammkuchen" which is basicall a very thin unleavened dough topped with creme fraiche, bacon and onions. Traditionally it was the first kind of thing you would bake in an oven just like the one John used. The Flammkuchen needs very high heat to make the thinly spread dough crispy and the onions just translucent so the really high temperature once the oven has been mopped is perfect for it. Once it cooled down you would switch to bread and pies.

    No better topic for a fine autumn day that this clay oven baked dinner! Brandon demonstrates Townsend's 'Just-In-Time' inventory system😜. Bryan has the ''great hands" of a cook as well as the mind for it. AFTER DINNER: a nap and then BACK TO WORK. 'We are BURNING DAYLIGHT here!' This reminds me a bit of Harvest Meals during Threshing periods on my grandfather's farm.

      I measure the temperature of my grill all the time with holding my hand over it and counting the seconds.
