winter will be here soon and the temperature is getting cold, might as

I've seen different discussions of it. I know it's an old
European practice and I'm sure many other cultures too. The most
extensive description of it I've seen is in a book called "Simple
French Food", by Richard Olney.

In most of what I've seen the meat is hung in front of the fire,
as close as practical, with a drip pan below.

I like the idea of it and meat hanging in front of the fireplace
sure looks cool. I sometimes hang sausage there to dry, but I've
never cooked that way.

My problem with it is that might be a bit messy. Getting fat
and gunk in the fireplace would not be good.

In colonial New England fireplaces were used to roast, not barbecue.
Weight driven rotisseries in tin reflectors were commonly used in inns.
The Salem Cross Inn, in West Brookfield, MA still does this with
original roasters, though with out the tin work:

Barbecue, no
Grilling, yes

One way is a Tuscan grill

I like to cook over wood in the woodstove with the doors open.

When I lived in Arkansas, there was a restaurant that cooked this way.
William Rubel has a book dealing with this subject. More info he
http://www.williamrubel.com/Landing%...th.cooking.htm

This would be a good time to roast peppers, & make the house smell great!!

We have a Franklin Stove. I use it to grill steaks in the winter, but
not to BBQ. I wait until there are good coals, then I put in some
shagbark hickory bark. Since I cook 'em rare, I don't worry much about
getting fat residue in the flue.

Winter is when the water falls from the sky and instead of running,
piles up on the ground, forming a barrier between you and your pit.
Intrepid individuals are known to still cook, albeit with remote
reading thermometers.

There is at least one website that offers information on (as well as a lot
of products for) roasting and grilling in a fireplace:

http://www.spitjack.com/

Eventually, I'd like to get one of the rotesseries with drip pan (with the
fireproof rug, since you can't use your spark screens with these).

Richard Olney's fireplace was elevated, and, with stone floors throughout
the house, a lot of concerns that we would have in most American houses were
not relevant. That fireplace influenced American cooking more than most
people are aware of!

That's all very interesting, at least to the original poster. But it's
more or less gibberish because it's top-posted. What the hell you
talking aboutr and who the hell you talking to? Interleave your
responses, please.

we tend to meet any new situation by reorganising, and a wonderful
method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing
confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation.

Ask Dank. He's the moron who thinks he's accomplishing something by
responding to my posts, then deleting my words from his reply. He
follows me from group to group just to hump my leg in that fashion.

But be aware that he's likely to e-mail your boss to complain about
you posting to Usenet, just as he did mine. Creepy, isn't he?

Post the alleged "complaint". You said you shared a laugh so you must
be close enough to get a copy. Unless it doesn't exist...

Asked and answered, Dank, dozens of times. I'm not about to drag other
people into your pathetic stalking over a Usenet squabble. Going real
life over Usenet is your style, not mine, creep.

I dislike people who waste my time on this newsgroup. That's why I have
killfiled Kevin, TFM, Kent, Cal, several others.

Are you going to continue wasting my time with these stupid posts? All
I need is a yes or no.

The answer is YES if you think TFM is wasting your time. He has a lot
to offer here.

Since you want to hide behind a mask and keep secret who you are,
who gives a **** what you think?

Everybody knows who I am, and everybody knows who TFM® is. Every-
body knows who Dan Krueger is, but you want to hide behind an anonymous
fense. FOAD asshole.

He was showing precious little when I kf'ed him. Noxious
profanity-laden, homophobic posts are not what I consider to be "a lot
to offer".

You forgot "racist" in that list of adjectives. Most folks around here
sure don't seem to mind noxicous, racist, profanity-laden, homophonic
posts from a half-literate half-wit, though.

You plonk then continue to reply. I haven't read one of TFM's replies
lately but Im guessing it would real like "you just don't like me
because you are a ****ing faggot" What do you think?

This sort of behavior is what got Kevin added in the old bozo bin. He's
pathologically incapable of not engaging clods in back and forth
****ing contests.

Sure I am. Watch as I don't engage you in a ****ing contest.

See, I can easily ignore some clods.
