Ingenuity and a smoker

Ingenuity.  In the dictionary, it means "the quality of being clever, original, inventive."  Every job requires some form of ingenuity.  It helps solve a problem that is preventing us from getting something completed.  I am a person who cannot fix much.  If I need to hang a light or fix my child's bike I am a fish out of water.  Don't even get me started on furniture in a box....that almost caused a divorce.  What I am good at is figuring out how to look outside the box to create a cleaver solution.  Case in point....I don't have a brick pizza oven.  As a chef, I want it all.  My checking account says, well, I can't have it all.  So, what to do.  I wanted a brick oven style pizza tonight.  Crisp bottom crust, chewy top crust with some smokey flavor.  I sat down, then, like a children's book, I thought and thought and thought and thought and thought THEN BAM!  It hit me.  I could use by chest smoker and crank the heat to high.  It had to work.  High temperature from below should help me get what I need.  Well, I am pleased to say...it worked.  I had wonderful raves from my taste testers too.  Some good ole ingenuity to the rescue.
