Life Hack 101: How to Start a Fire According to Sydney’s Firedoor Chef Lennox Hastie
Broadstreet
Turns out, the "log cabin" construction - no matter where you are building a fire - is one of the most dependable log constructions we’ve ever used. It's so simple yet so versatile.
Netflix
To get a taste for this series just watch the Official Trailer and you will be hooked. I absolutely devoured this short 4-episode masterpiece, especially the Lennox Hastie episode and his insane, 200+ day, dry-aged steaks.

Wish you had a glass of Pappy to sip around your fire pit? Try making you own and it you can't tell the difference, why does it matter? Plus, is Pappy really worth it? You tell me... If you like faking rare bourbon, check out the Sour Grapes documentary.

Book Recommendation
Seven Fires: Grilling the Argentine Way
Amazon
You will read this cookbook many times, cover-to-cover. Francis Mallmann is a James Beard Award Winning chef who "reinvents the art of cooking over fire." LLAMAWOOD started because of a trip to Patagonia, The Land of Fire, so it is only fitting that my first book recommendation comes from its most famous chef who teaches how to cook using seven different wood-fired techniques. These recipes are easily adaptable to the kitchen if you don't have a fire handy but here's to hoping we can help change that. His chimichurri recipe is worth it alone. Oh, and his ingredient list for cooking an entire cow is hilarious.
Until next time,
Hunter
LLAMAWOOD. It really burns.
