Chocolate Tarts with Raspberry poached pears

Kate Irving – Townsville

This chocolate tart recipe is a great way to impress your family and friends with what you can cook on your Z Grills pellet smoker.

The weather up here in Townsville gets pretty unbearable, especially during the summer months. I use my Z Grill to cook anything that I would otherwise make in my oven in order to keep the heat out of the house.
