Thanks y'all

I was worried about charcoal taste, There was none.

Wife and neighbors liked it, said no charcoal and the sour taste was perfect

I did have a chimney going just in case i needed more.

 

[pc farmer]

Any smoke taste?

 

[BGKYSmoker]

None

Thats why have some going so you dont add any to the already burning.

Outstanding. Love a fresh boule.
I use charcoal to flavor direct grilling and indirect cooking.

You completely shielded from the smoke so leads the question, why?
Wouldn't the oven be an easier method?
Duh, Florida. Don't want to heat the RV?

My wife and friends are not like me, they would not much care for smoked fresh bread.
RV oven is not like household oven, heck i dont even know if ours works, never used it.

REST FOUR HOURS!?!? That would have been sliced and covered in Butter with nothing but CRUMBS left, 30 minutes later here!
If I bake bread, I need to make at least Two Loaves. One to be eaten Warm from the Oven and one for whatever I planned to serve it with. Yes, I live with Animals.
Your Bread looks fantastic! ...JJ

Awesome looking bread Rick!
Judy makes sourdough bread at least 2-3 times a week.
It’s actually good for you because of the fermented dough.
