On April 23rd 2013, Wood Stone was joined in the test kitchen by Chefs Michael Noble and Justin Labosserie from NOtaBLE the Restaurant in Calgary, AB. The Josper by Wood Stone Charcoal Broiler Oven was up to the challenge, knocking out awesome steaks, savory seafood, and a charred romaine salad that was to die for. We also showcased the softer side of Josper, hot smoking sausages, game hens, pork loin, and flat iron steaks at around 250 degrees. All in all, it was another fine day in the kitchen with fine friends! Now Chefs Frank and Travis are wondering, “When are we going to Calgary?”

Josper, The world’s hottest, charcoal-fired culinary tool landed last night on Downtown Vancouver BC’s sexiest restaurant rooftop!
Black + Blue, already one of Vancouver’s hottest restaurants by Glowbal, became even seductive when it added a Josper by Wood Stone Charcoal Broiler oven to its roof top kitchen equipment arsenal. Thursday night, a group of Vancouver’s international media were in attendance to experience a wide variety of mouthwatering food produced in Josper’s 700-900 °F mesquite-fired chamber.
Glowbal, challenged with Vancouver’s strict wood-fired equipment installation regulations, went above and beyond to get Josper in Black + Blue to offer Canada its first look and taste of Josper. This is destined to be the most talked about and sought after wood-fired experience – Intense heat and smoke – Black + Blue Chef Jason LaBahn’s new favorite seasoning!

Recently we had the opportunity to experience a great UK concept featuring a Josper called Busaba Eathai in London. This concept was originated by Wagamama, Hakkasan and Yauatcha creator Alan Yau. For those of you who think the Josper is just for Spanish or Continental Cuisine, think again. This modern Thai eatery features a smart application of the Josper for their grilled menu. The Tamarind char-grilled duck was fantastic; the Josper taste pops, bringing the flavor of the duck to full bloom (note to reader: had to work that in, Busaba means flower in Thai – never miss a pun if it’s in two languages!).
A big thank you to Ken Winch of @SeftonHornWinch for introducing us to this great concept, and sharing a great meal with us at the Westfield Stratford City Busaba. For those unfamiliar with the locale, this restaurant sits literally at the gate to London’s new Olympic Park, situated in the heart of the London’s east end. Keep an eye out for it in the background of the TV coverage this summer. From Busaba’s front door you can clearly see the 115m tall sculpture ArcelorMittal Orbit, designed by Anish Kapoor, which has been chosen to be the 2012 London Olympics monument. Even through the confusion of construction and the fall twilight, it looked stunning. And, it’s 22 meters taller than the Statue of Liberty!
Busaba Eathai is not the only Josper user in London doing Asian cuisine. Hakkasan in Mayfair also uses a Josper and is one of 7 restaurants in London to receive a Michelin star in the most recent Red Guide, for the whole list see The Michelin Stars Are Out and the Jospers Are In.

Michelin has released its annual Red Guide. This renowned hotel and restaurant guide, which hands out its highly-coveted Michelin stars sparingly, caught our attention this year. In the UK alone, 7 restaurants received stars which feature Josper ovens: Alan Yau’s new Hakkasan in Mayfair, Jason Atherton’s Pollen Street Social, the Italian wonder L’Anima by Francesco Mazzei, Chapter One with Chef Simon Cotterill, Gordon Ramsay’s The Savoy Grill, AA’s UK Chef of the Year Martin Wishart’s eponymous restaurant in Edinburgh, and finally Dinner by Heston Blumenthal at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park.
Take a virtual tour of these amazing restaurants by following the links below—just don’t do it on an empty stomach!
If you want to learn more about the charcoal broiler oven that’s in all of these restaurants, this May 5-th to 8th we will be cooking live at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago in the Josper by Wood Stone booth #5645.

4 whole pork loins were recently prepared in our test kitchen for a Rebound of Whatcom County dinner. Smoked to perfection, this pork looked AMAZING! We just had to share.
Needed:
- 3 Lbs Mesquite Charcoal
- 1.5 lbs Apple Wood Chunks, 8 oz ea, water-soaked at least one day
- 4 whole Piri-Piri marinated pork loins
Process using the Josper by Wood Stone Charcoal Broiler Oven
- Start mesquite – all dampers open – center front of cast iron grill grates
- When charcoal 50% ignited (glowing),add Apple Wood chunks
- Cover with 1/4 pan or perforated 1/2 sheet pan to diffuse heat and smoke
- Close both dampers
- Introduce pork loin (tempered 30 minutes) to 2nd from top grill grate – try to leave a little space between loin for heat and smoke movement
- Watch thermometer – use internal oven thermometer. It should be below 100 for the first hour
- If fire and smoke start to die, open lower damper half way until coals are glowing and Apple Wood smoking – then close damper
- At one hour turn pork loin over
- At this time (1 hour add 2 more pounds of charcoal) add 2 more pounds of charcoal
- Open bottom damper halfway until loins reach proper internal temperature – total time about 90-120 minutes
- Rest, chill, slice or slice to order and re-heat
