This brings back good memories of shashlyk over an open fire in the hot summer days and evenings at a friends' dacha in the Lagoisk region of Belarus. With a bit of Stolichnaya also. Looks good Igor. (In America they are called shish-kabobs)

 

[garryale]

Tea was certainly from the Samovar.
Vodka and beer were from the bottles.
The (shish kebab) "Sashlyk" was on open coals.

I brought home to America a samovar similar to that. Mine was more rounded, not as slender and tall. Good times of summer.

I will have to try that. I'll take the samovar with me on my upcoming trip to Lake Crescent where there are many fir trees.

Nice pictures, American forests are similar to Russian forests.
Please be cautious. Fir cones give a strong deposit, it will be then difficult to clean off a samovar.

I'll add just a few, then. Thank you for the suggestion. :thumbup:

The Alder wood is very good for smoking of fish on small branches of a tree.

Igor, what's the meat for the Shashlyk?

Russian variant of the Shashlyk - meat pork, a neck or a hip or a back of a pig (wild boar).
The Caucasian variant of the Shashlyk - meat mutton a back or a hip of a ram (sheep).
In both cases meat is pickled in a current of one days, with spices in various marinades.
