great pics & sniff.. whoohoo i love the pit & it just brought me back to being a kid @ great grandma's farm in sabinal & learning to swim in the hondo creek... plus uvalde peaches & hog hunts... some of these texas posters take me home.......have ya ever done the king ranch or other cowboy cookouts or dutch oven camp competitions ??

p.s. goat about the amount of wood- i saw 1/2 pickup bed - i'm guessing a ford f-150 or old f-100 truck- and that would be a 1/2 cord of mesquite(heat) or 3/4 cord pecan ?? or a whole cord scrub oak ?? ( trying to score otbs points here w/ texan experience...last big cook i did was for bottom's up tittie bar in corpus - 165 chicken quarters,12 briskets,500 burgs,650 dogs,65 fajita sides, 120 brats(sausage on a stick),85 lbs of papa salad, all the trims fer burgs- lettuce tomato etc, and 120 gallons of pintos-burnd a full cord of mesquite- all done on the beach self contained w/ 1 freakin' helper.... we fed over 2500 plates & it was my 3rd one for these people - plus it was my band that played- what a nightmare... got pics coming in june

Hey gypsyseagod, I have never personally entered a cook off of any kind. I do help a team called "The Holy Cow Cookers" most every year at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo cook off. I would like to go to Kingsville, or Oklahoma City or Ruidosa, NM to a dutch oven cook off. I have them all on my calender, but seems like I am always busy. Perhaps one day I will make them all.

I used about 1/4 - 1/3 of a pickup bed of mesquite. That would be an F-150. This is Ford tough! That would be less than 1/4 cord of wood.

gypsyseagod, your roots are in the right place. I am sure that there are many fond memories of this Uvalde area. I kind of like it and am trying to brush up on my Spanish so I can better communicate with the legals and the not so legals.

goat- you rock... i guess yer not from there ( ya would 1/2 to know 1/2 spanish)- it is a great area & i look forward to meeting you somewhere down the line - if you can ever get to a king ranch wkend or camp cookoff-that IS real cowboy cooking - but you are doing just fine - just sharing some south texas memories- i thought you were from there.
