Ouch!!! Your poking stick is sharp today.
My smoker/grill is frozen in a 2' drift. To top it all off, I'm out of wood here at home. My stockpile of dry wood is out at the farm. I would have to wade through a 1/4 mile of 3' drifts to get to it.
Hey give me that poking stick, and I'll use it for kindling to get my smoker started!😝

Did up a 5lb bag of chicken livers with lots of bacon and plenty of onions served over chopped up whole nuked taters, also a side of salad with buttermilk ranch. $0.79 lb for the livers, I bought 20 lbs. Got the Black Label thick cut bacon for $2.59lb limit 4. Made a few in and outs for that. I know I know easy on the iron (liver).

Darn I was in ol shameless country over the weekend. I can't understand people trying to destroy a good grill by cooking chicken on it. After the green chicken and green eggs we had in the Army I haven't been able to touch the stuff since. That was clear back in 69-73. I do mean it was actually Green. Anyway hope you guys enjoy it.

Hey Shameless,,,,,I'll have you know,,,I DO NOT use pallet wood for something as important as my smokin groceries,,,,it be mostly Pecan, apricot, Pecan, and some Mesquite for diversity,,,,say,,! I kinda like thet word,,,ole oblama used to use thet word all the time so it must be important,,,,Chit ,,got off subject there again,,,,, I have a big Apricot tree in front yard I been borry'in some branches off of it but think it gonna be all mine this year as the north half of the tree started to dry up 2 years ago,,and now the south half is doin the same,,,chit I never got very much fruit off it as it always bloomed out way too early and frost usually got the blooms,,,,, You just can't hardly go wrong with some good seasoned Pecan for just bout any smokin. I'm like you in that I LOVE chickie fixed just bout any old way,,especially smoked chickie,,,I wait till they throw the 10# bags of chickie quarters for bout .39 /lbs and will stock up till they ask me to not come back and let the other customers get their share,,,,CHIT,,ain't my fault them customers are some slow in seein a good buy,,,,

Hey, Joe, good to know there is another stick burner here! Totally agree about pellets. Smoking with wood is an art!
My go to wood is maple because it is plentiful around here. Had someone give me a pear tree last year. I'm saving that, thinking that might make some good bacon.

Chas GOTS a NEW STICK!!! OUCH!!
I agree Tbone, I grill out all year too. BUT,,,,,,I forgot to bring it in ONE TIME in February and it's under snow...... I can see the top of it now as we're finally getting into melt/thawing temps now. We're gonna hit a heat wave pretty quick, gonna be close to 60 on Sunday!!!! WHOPEEEEE It's gonna go from the 30s to the 60s just like,,,,,,,,BING,,,,,,,,here we are...
I like using apple as I have so much of it. I lost a big green apple tree here last fall. High winds, but the worst part was the black ants that had gone into the middle where the tree split into two branches/trunks and rotted it out. They got the gas/fire treatment. Dang ants!

I've got 2 live cherry trees, 2 apples, and had to cut up and stash a 9-10" base Fuji plum that the wind took out last spring. I've also got a small charcoal/stick cabinet style brinkman, a MES, and a converted with electric plate refrigerator. Yeah I love smoked anything. Sucker run commin up soon.

I'm glad I read this post. I still have a good sized chunk of venison steak wrapped in bacon in the fridge. I cooked it up last week and been feeding on it ever since! Thanks for the poke!

Burgers on the grill last night.....mmm.... I'd like a smoker some day. Maybe if/when I retire. I don't have the time right now. I do use charcoal, not gas! Sometimes, I'll soak some wood in water and throw it off to the side in the charcoal. Apple or hickory is great on pork chops!

I agree. One or two small chunks will give it that awesome flavor. 👍

Actually Tbone, that's how I got started smoking. Just build a smaller fire with charcoal and start adding wood to get smoke. The key is lower temperature and longer time. Think of it like a crockpot. Fire on one side of grill, meat on the other. Indirect heat. Think of it like simmering a pot of water, not boiling it.

Its coming, worked outside in my short sleeve shirt today. 5 hours pulling parts off a antique skid loader just so I could get to a small tie rod end that controls turning on the right side. Found the parts at our local hardware store. Now I gotta figure how to get my hands down under a steel plate and up on top of a shift lever.

Yes Sir Trucker,,,that's my method for smokin meats,, I fill one of those charcoal starter thingies and get that charcoal going then dump it into the fire chamber and put the wood I'm gonna use right on top of the charcoal. With chickie or pork that is usually enough for the whole cookin time. Now,,brisket takes bout another half a load of charcoal to get er done,,,,

menards sells a cast iron smoke box just for the other type grills. I have one and use it on my gas grill. the wood lasts longer and there is a lot more smoke. would work on any type grill, even the camp ground grills.

A while back I had the good fortune of watching a old West Texas Rancher roast Beef and Lamb in his simple homemade cooker using Mesquite for heat. His cooker for a large crowd was a steel plate box about 4x4 and 3 foot tall with a hinged lid and no bottom . The meat laid on a expanded metal grill about 2 foot above the ground. His Mesquite was well seasoned . He did a dry rub. Same on both Beef and Lamb To start he would build a hot fire in the box to get the pit hot and another on the ground next to the box. When there was nothing but red hot coals in the box the meat went on. He keep the heat where you couldn't lay your hand on the lid and keep it there more than a second or two. If it got to cool he just added more coals only from the outside fire using a shovel. He kept the fire outside going for a good supply of coals. Cooking time was 5 or 6 hours turning about once a hour. You talk about TENDER especially the lamb. Taste of meat roasted with seasoned Mesquite using Coals Only was not overpowering at all. Cooking with coals only is the secret using any wood. I prefer Post Oak coals to do my Brisket mostly because I have tons of it.
