First I fried salo/fatback of course for it's fat which gathered in the inside of the grill, the "rabbit bites" followed. I was careful to do it over logs which upper surface smouldered because once when I fried pork chops on it the flame climbed over to the upper surface of the grill via the oil/fat that poured out from the grill and the whole stuff got flambé-d. And embers give constant level of heat anyway and flames can vary.
But the wind started to blow with enough force to wake flames from the embers thus the grill got too much heat and the first batch fried too fast and some of these small bites left undercooked in the inside... After these it was fine and fried onions with them in thick slices. At the end I fried sliced potato in the fat seasoned by the meat and onion. After it was ready I applied unhealthy amount of salt because I didn't use it during preparation as salt draws the water out of the meat causing it to dry out and with rabbit it's not a good idea.
The meat wasn't dry luckily but was sometimes chewy. Was very tasty. Previously I had no time to take pictures, and by then I forgot about it. One of the great regrets of my lief. The fatback, onions, taters all tasted good, but some taters were undercooked as well. Not too big of a problem.
We got a little rain too, but actually felt good after the heat of the day and the flames.
