I took the day off work today to work around the house to get ready for the snow, so I brined up some game hens - water, salt, red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, sugar, black pepper, basil, oregano - for 2 hours. Here they are going on after being air dried.
The fire is just right
This fire makes 275 on the money. 3/4 chimney starter with oak lump, after 10 min sitting over the side burner I dump it in the basket with just a few more pieces of lump And put a 2 inch cherry split on it. After the second split is lit good like the pic it's ready to go.
After 50 mins the hens went under the broiler for 3 mins to crisp up the skin and then they were matched with home made mushroom risotto, gravy, & garlic toast.
