Oooh, that's awesome. I'm salivating seeing you cooking on coals, that sauce looks absolutely amazing. I'm really excited to get our coal-fired oven going- we bought a house a couple years ago that had a fireplace in the kitchen, and we've just had it reconditioned prior to putting some black iron doors on it and turning it into a wood fired oven, and I can't wait to actually start using it! Here's the fireplace in it's current state: https://imgur.com/PPRxBgp

I wish I could say, I only bought the bigger size. I also bought them used (don’t judge) so I may have never had issues because someone else broke them in for me

for this kind of cooking you don't really need high temperatures, you just need a pot with a tick bottom for spreading the heat around and time.

​

the sauce need to stay very close to the boiling point but doesn't need to boil.

when i cook on the fireplace i just use ember from buring Olive three wood, it's very hot and last for hours .

The Ikea 365+ ones. The lids are the same through the whole line (and they sell them separately), they are watertight and they don't scratch. I think they have both squared and rectangular ones in steel.

Yes their sizing is insane. I am a 9.5 wide so my first few pairs (including points) are a 10.5. I really should’ve bought 11s or 11.5 in the points. I have settled that in the future with the flats that the 11 does fit me better. I actually prefer the flat to the point tbh. I have one pair of 11 flats. I would sell my 10.5s but they haven’t re released what I want to replace the smaller ones with yet (red camo, copper, and Python fig) and probably won’t. Bummer.
