THE inspiration and fascination of wood fire cooking

About
Howdy,
​After a six-year hiatus from making wood fire cooking related videos, I decided to take another crack at making content. In the fall of 2025, I dove back into making low-quality dad jokes, all while sharing tutorials to help folks gain knowledge within primitive-style cooking. However, I've noticed the space is now pretty crowded with cooking philosophies and techniques from when I first began posting, which is great! So anyone should be able to navigate the Internet now to find exactly what you're looking for. So what's next?
My obsession and fascination for cooking with fire is as intense as ever, but after reflecting the last six months of 2025, I began plotting a new path. There is so much more I am interested in, within the wood fire cooking space.

You'll see the Quetorials Youtube channel content has changed, and likely, so will the name. I do still plan on making (hopefully) very helpful tutorial videos specifically related to the cooking tools. That content can be found on their respective channels at Workhorse Pits, El Bandido Grills and Primitive Pits.
I also decided to move our Quetorials podcast episodes off the current channel to it's own channel called Quetorials The Podcast. Yes, many views, comments and support are wiped out, but I'll see you at the new podcast channel!​
​
As for the future of the channel? You'll just have to give it a watch. I can't eloquently explain what I am doing. I just think folks will find it interesting.

I greatly appreciate your support!
