I cook over fire quite often. Yesterday it was a Manzanita wood fire and 
I grilled salmon over it. You can't get that taste with a gas appliance 
or electric. Same with a lot of meat. And pizza, And bread. And ...

Our house has a cooking alcove downstairs for indoor open flame cooking 
but I like doing it outside regardless of the weather. Beer is also made 
by yours truly right here at the house, haven't bought any commercial 
beer in years.
