    Woods For Smoking

    Sorry about the long post, but I am passionate about the wood I smoke with.  There is just something alluring and wonderful about wood. But Imrefuse to pay for smoking wood.    I have a large variety of fruit trees (Bartlett pear, Asian pear, tangerine, navel orange, Valencia orange, Key Lime...

    Hello from SoCal

    Thanks, for the welcome.  I was actually born in Columbus (Bexley) and both my parents attended The Ohio State University.  Go Bucs! Ha! It's my wine locker (make my own) that has all the security and is guarded by two furry four legged watchmen!
