ChefSteps

We love an epic cooking challenge, especially if it’s in the great outdoors. It takes a lot to mastermind how to build huge fires and harness that heat to perfectly cook a lot (like, a lot) of meat. These adventures have helped us to get outside—of our office, our kitchen, and our comfort zone—to try new things and show you what we’ve learned. Sure, extreme cooking exploits are incredibly entertaining and loads of fun. But they’re also awesome opportunities to push ourselves to our technical limits and then beyond. We just keep going, learning new things, and expanding our limits to level up the most basic culinary technique—cooking with fire. It’s not just about how big or how hot we can make that fire. We&#39;re creating epic experiences and memorable meals. Even with weeks of preparation, things often don’t go exactly as we planned. Tackling challenges head-on, problem-solving, and troubleshooting in the moment—and sharing those experiences with you—drives us to keep innovating. The principles that we explore in these truly massive and over-the-top ways can be distilled down into very practical and teachable elements, and allow us to create recipes and guides that help you achieve better results at home. From the most complex and daring exploits to so-easy-you-can-do-it-anywhere, we bring you this outdoor cooking highlight reel to inspire equally epic and memorable moments of your own (no wall of fire required).
