baked potato in log burner

[chilli_grower]

I have been looking forward to doing this for months.

And I have just done it.

Cooked a baked potato on some oak embers within the log burner.

It was cooked perfectly inside, after around 45 minutes.

The skin was a little charred, but I think that is because I brushed the potato with olive oil before hand.

Overall very pleased

[chilli_grower]

Yes just the one for tonight

Glad there was no typo there!

I can't wait for Friday but at the same time I'm bl••dy nervous but might have to crawl there to get a spud and ice cream

[veggiechicken]

Don't worry, I made doubly sure of my typing, D

When we were in Ireland during the storms last month, the power lines went down with the fallen trees. I cooked potatoes, onion and sausage in the log burner, delicious and a distraction from the weather

Just had a huge roast beef dinner and rhubarb crumble with my own forced rhubarb and now all I can think of is havinng a baked spud!!!

My parents have just placed an order for me to 'bake' them some this Wednesday when they come over to visit!

[maytreefrannie]

That's a great idea and it's going to be my next project.

You should definately do the onion, it was so delicious.
