Ep 36: Burgers from the Wood Fired Oven 

I'm addicted to RU-vid, but if all RU-vid was was Clive uploading these videos once in a while I wouldn't be complaining. In fact, I think we all would be better off.

Now THIS is a REAL burger. Please, do not stop uploading episodes. They're far better alternative to any sort of today's garbage news from the legacy media. Thanks Clive.

I love your spurts of videos every 7 months. It actually is something to look forward to 😊

Quite simply on another level! Welcome back Clive, your wonderful shows have been sorely missed.

Great voice for radio… loved this video.

You were the gateway drug to get me addicted to RU-vid cooking content. Still the best. Thanks!

So happy to see you posting

Wood fired artistry. No explanation beyond that is necessary

So happy you are back, you have made my day!

I love your work! Each episode is beautiful!! Also, I appreciate that you demonstrate other types of meals to make in our wood fire ovens, not just pizza. Makes me want to run outside and fire mine right up - literally!!

What a piece of art! Thanks for sharing!

Amazing as always.

Well played! Great to have you back!

I'm enchanted by the videography and background music. Its therapeutic!

I'm speechless with mouth full of saliva))). Thank you, Maestro!!!

It looks like an amazing experience, from the settings to the cooking to the eating!

Nicely done! We do a slight variation here using a burger press, and adding a cup of spices to the meat to the taste of the individual (I like smoked paprika, black pepper, cumin, chili flakes and salt) and that becomes part of the meat itself. A Tuscan grill is used rather than a baking pan, with some hot embers raked forward and another piece of wood or two freshly burning for increased direct heat. Gotta say man, your videos consistently hit it out of the park. Hopefully we'll see more of them through the summer!

Great uploads today! When I cook burgers in my wood fired oven I like to place a small piece of mesquite off to the side and let it smolder/smoke while the patties cook for that hint of smokey flavor.

Truly wonderful…you’re an inspiration…coolest dude on the tube…thank you

I love the production of your videos, and the quality of the food you cook. Keep up the great work.

Simply outstanding. Thank you.

Superbly done, looks amazing!

Absolutely perfect burgers and perfect video!

Looks delicious and beautiful. You are truly a artist.

I love your videos. The only thing missing is me eating your delicious masterpieces. 😋

Spectacular. We will give it a go. Thank you for sharing

Thanks Clive, amazing set of videos as usual. Genuinely missed your presence on YT, so welcome back! I've just started building my own oven, and will be practicing your recipes in the coming months.

Ohhhh. Just beautiful. My wife is gonna love my patty!!

Mesmerizing to watch, looks so delicious. Nicely done!

So I’ve had my WFO for about 2 years now, however in all that time I have only cooked pizza. This burger with the rolls and wedges series inspired me to step outside my comfort zone. I was nervous about the rolls but the turned out beautiful, the burger was great, and the wedges we amazing. Thank you Clive for putting out these videos, they are great quality, entertaining, and they got mr cooking more than just pizza in my oven.

That was epic!!! Thank you for making this video, I’m inclined to give it a try! ❤

Looks beautiful! I bet they are amazing!

I like the calm and quiet way you cook. Nothing like when I cook with my oven... hahaha, always struggling with the temperature and cooking times. Many of the tips you gave in the video you give I will use.

Wow! Very nice. TY!

Few days ago I just started my wood oven season after winter break, and new content from your channel came. Awsome. Waiting for more videos and inspirations. As burger lover IMHO something so beauiful as wood oven burger deserves more care. I would remove ketchup, and change it to proper burger sauce (in my usual burgers its mix of ketchup, mayo, mustard, worchester sauce, little bit of sugar, lemon juice, salt and pepper, maybe little bit of chives). I hope its not only content from your channel this summer. Waiting for more!

Those look amazing! You've inspired some burger making this evening here!

Amazing!

Elegant presentation & meal preparation !!! Thanks, 😬

Not many cooking videos make my mouth water, but watching yours, and especially this one, I found my mouth watering... Your videography is just outstanding! I'm sure these take a long time to film and edit, but the final product is a work of art! You are my inspiration to use my oven for more than just pizza. The few times I have, have all been from your content, working on replicating your master pieces. This is another one I'm going to have to try. I believe the wood fired oven will give the burgers a taste you can't get any other way.

What a amazing Burger, welcome back chef love form India.

Bravo!!

Thanks for the new video.

Please more content and more regularly

Great great job 🥰

This guy is a real gentleman I wish I was this calm about anything.

They look perfect. I will have to give that recipe a try.

بصراحة أنت مبدع في الطبغ والتصوير Honestly, you are creative in cooking and photography

No words 💔 Just perfect

New Episode! Thank you Clive

Exquisite! Cheers..

Looks delicious! Thanks for the new videos! I miss seeing your little Frenchie in the videos though ❤

The peppercorn sauce shown in a different video for steaks is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend it. I've made it 4 times already. Its a hit.

Wie immer - großartig.

How does this video only have 23k views? Oh my! That is just spectacular 😍

Amazing as always. With the buns, I've also had good outcomes with using mayo instead of butter!

Excellent

the legend of fire... 👏👏👏

I challenge you to watch this without drooling.

Your personalized burger creation sounds absolutely delicious and well thought out! Here's a review and overview of your burger assembly and cooking process: Burger Assembly: Your choice of a freshly baked brioche bun is a fantastic foundation for a burger. The softness and flavor of the brioche complement the other ingredients. The combination of American cheese, ketchup, lettuce, sliced tomatoes, sautéed onions, pancetta, and cornichons offers a blend of textures and flavors that can create a balanced and satisfying burger experience. Burger Patties: Using ground chuck with a 20% fat content is a great choice for juicy and flavorful burger patties. The 80/20 blend ensures that the burgers retain moisture while cooking, resulting in a juicy and delicious bite. Cooking Process: Cooking the burgers to a medium/well level with an internal temperature of around 155°F/70°C is a good approach. This allows for a balance between doneness and retaining juiciness. It's evident that you pay attention to the details of temperature, which is key to achieving the desired outcome. Personalization: Your description of "everyone has their own way of dressing their burger" highlights the personalized nature of burger assembly. Your chosen ingredients and assembly method create a burger that reflects your preferences and culinary creativity. Overall Impression: Your burger creation showcases a thoughtful and well-balanced combination of ingredients. From the choice of bun to the flavorful toppings and the carefully cooked burger patties, your approach to creating a personalized burger experience is evident. This burger is likely to satisfy a variety of taste preferences and create a memorable meal. Thank you for sharing your detailed and appetizing burger recipe!

Yum!

You always inspire me to cook more than just pizza in my WFO. I think, too, that I would be a better chef if I cooked my food in slow motion ;-)

Clive is the Master Yoda of wood fired ovens....

wow🎉 yummm

Ďakujem.

Looks so good! Love your videos. Do you have any videos or pictures of your oven being built? I really love the style.

Let's be honest - none of us are ever going to replicate this - we are all here living vicariously. It isn't just the food - its the whole "life is grand" vibe. The pancetta is just gilding the lily.

amazing

Good life!

And with that red wine 0:07 (a-ha! 007) this meal will be perfect!

The best

So good. Those burgers look amazing. Have you cooked burgers on the tuscan grill over coals vs. the method you showed here?

Great to have the WFOC back, your videos are interesting and entertaining while your dulcet tones are soothing and relaxing. But where is the Staffie?

Wow, he is back! Been too long.

@Clive A video idea for you. Like you, we enjoy our wood oven and cook almost everything in it. A video that would be fun to watch is one where the garlic confit, appetizer, or breads, entrées, side dish veggie and even dessert is cooked in the oven for a party of 6-8 people.

Clive, your videos have been an inspiration and have added versatility to my cooking with fire wood. I have to ask, where did you get your oil cruet. It is beautiful and it dispenses a very fine stream of oil. I would love to get my hands on one, if possible.

Wow, the Wood-Fired Oven Meister speaks!! Fantastic video again Clive! Sublime video, sublime burger!! How you got that one drop of jus to run out of the burger when you constructed it was a masterstroke! Or was it CGI? ;-) Big hugs from Southern Germany, James

I love the way he only puts a video out every so often i. the other ones think they have to put a video out of week-1 they get to where they make some stupid videos I love this guy's videos 8:26

Great video! Do you always heat up the oven to the same temperature? What was the temperature when you cook the burgers?

Any issues of having a grease fire with the such high heat and proximity of the fire and the burger juices rendering? Love the content!!

Well, did you consume it? If so, how did you squash it down far enough to take a bite? Looks great, excellent video.

Where are you located Clive, Spain, Portugal?

How do you clean the bottom of the oven from all the spattering grease?

You should make wood fired empanadas 🤤

Clive, did I miss an episode about appropriate wines to pair with wood oven cooking? Favourite rioja?

The only one I'm not watching on 1.5x speed 😂

What did you do as a career? Your voice sounds very confident and soothing. It also can be used for commercial voiceovers

What pan are you using for the burgers, lodge cast iron griddle?

Do the foods (potatoes, burgers, onions) pick up any of the fire / smoke flavor? The burger was simple and fantastic!

Please show around a little im in love with your house

Fantastic. I have a challenge for you. Can you do bagels, bialy's and cold smoked salmon?

I notice that your wonderful dog was missing from this video and you didn't pay it the cheese tax. Hope all is well.

Can you show your process for cleaning the cast iron on the regular basis

Superb videos and every receipe is mouth watering Can we get the wood fire oven design? And what materials are needed to build it?

Absolutely love your videos! However, in my humble opinion, a Tuscan grill with a thin bed of coals underneath makes a better burger. Cheers!

Hmm what do I want to eat tonight....

🥰🥰

Any chance you can show how to bake sourdough in a wood fire oven, please.🙏🏻

Some might call it "food porn" ~This is so beautiful. Your channel is great.

All you needed there at the end was a pestle and mortar

You could have used a purple toothpick
