Last night we went to Teddy and Bertie’s campsite, which is across from Bobbie and Jim’s. They have a whole bunch of family in the area
for the holiday weekend so last night was Teddy’s turn to cook. They have such a great campsite, right along the stream.
Teddy made three different types of smoked ribs. An apricot habanera, a BBQ one and one with a spice rub on them. I tried one of the spice ones and one of the BBQ ones. He used apple wood in his smoker to smoke them with. Teddy does a lot of the cooking for cowboy crews when they go out on the range for the roundups. Along with the ribs he had cooked some cut up brats in his “kow”…wok spelled backwards. It looks like a giant wok with horseshoes welded on the sides for handles. They cook almost anything in there…eggs, meats, potatoes, sopapillas, etc. It’s seasoned really well so things don’t stick to it. Easy to clean and ready to go for the next time.
Chris, another cowboy cook and friend, tended to the sweet corn over the fire. Wrapped in foil with butter and salt, he kept turning it to get it evenly browned inside. It was really good. After dinner, Teddy took out the Dutch Oven to cook dessert in. There is a whole way of cooking with a Dutch Oven over open coals. I never realized it was such a big thing till Bobbie and Jim told us about it. I even found an app for it on our tablet that tells you how many briquettes to put on the top of the pot and how many on the bottom to get a certain temperature for baking, roasting, etc. The Dutch Oven itself comes in different sizes and has a flat lid to hold the hot briquettes on the top. Teddy made a peach cobbler using some fresh peaches he had brought from his freezer and put those in the pot first. He had put a disposable aluminum pot inside the Dutch Oven so he wouldn’t have to wash it afterwards. Then he took a box of yellow cake mix and dumped that on top of the peaches. He then took a can of creme soda and poured that over it. He put the lid on, set it in the hot coals and scooped some coals onto the lid. About 20 minutes later, he took it out of coals and checked it. It wasn’t quite done on the one side so he put a couple of pieces of the hot wood pieces on top of the lid and let is set for a few more minutes. He then opened it up, stirred the cake into the peaches and we ate….Oh my, was it delicious ! So nice to make new friends on the road…
