Recipes

Yes, we know, EVERYBODY thinks they have the ultimate recipe for (fill in blank as you see fit). Maybe you do. Maybe you only think you do.

Here at the Cowboy Cauldron Company, we actually want to know what’s going on out there in the fire-cooking world. What do YOU do that keeps them coming back for more? What are some of your more spectacular failures? Success often breeds success, but failure is an opportunity to learn. Both are equally important.

We want to know what you do best on your Cauldron – or on any other live fire, for that matter.

All we ask is that you tell us WHY you think something works or didn’t work. That way, anyone who reads our word or yours can understand where the reasoning, logic, technique, or methods are either the best thing ever, or just plain suck.

We expect a lively dialogue.
