Wide variety of music choice here and that is good. Would be interesting to see what age group relates to what kind of music. I am over 80, born and raised with country music and square dancing.
I must be the odd ball of the bunch as I stay close to the old country. Willies Roadhouse on Sirius in the house on tv or in either vehicle. Loretta Lynn brought the house down with her rendition of the National Anthem at the Super Bowl last Sunday. The half time show sucked from the start...
I only keep the apple. Do the sawing on a trap and use the saw chips with the smaller limbs cut into 1" rings for the smoking. One old apple tree will provide many years of smoking for two people. Saw chips are kept in a burlap bag along with the blocks in a 55gal steel barrel with lid.
With the just two of us I have never thought of any need for a bigger equipment. Have a 30" pellet smoker/grill and lot of cast iron fry pans and griddles in the collection to choose from. Couple Iowa Chops going on the grill for a smoke then reverse sear this evening. Very interesting...
Sliced up a nice little 4 lb. beef roast for jerky. Seasoned with
Cookie's Flavor Enhancer and put it on two trays in the dehumidifier. Now need to clean the pellet grill up for Iowa
Chops this evening. Hasn't been used since last November.
You have a great choice of refreshment in the light blue can. I love those burgers.
Granddaughter works in a small cafe across the street from her house that make BIG mushroom bacon cheeseburgers. I use Cookie's sauces almost exclusively.

I was thinking of getting some wings for this Sunday evening. Saw a package of chicken thighs in the freezer so my go that route. Did some turkey wings last fall that were good.
This was originally made in the small town of Templeton, Iowa about 65 miles North of me. When demand overrode their production capacity they sold out to a distiller in Ill. Got into trouble as the label still said Made in Iowa. Got that ironed out and went national with the product. Mighty...
Congrats on your new place. I did the same thing only 24 years ago. No loud mufflers or stereos, No balls bouncing off the house wall, no neighbors for 1.25 miles and can't see them in the summer. Rock road in one way and dirt the other and neither go anyplace except to the main hard surface...
Side note for us Northern cookers, pick up a welding blanket at HF Tools and throw that over your grill when cooking or smoking. Makes a BIG difference on holding the heat in and at a steady temp.
Have done a lot of grilling over the years but hardly any smoking. Got a new pallet smoker/grill a year ago and have done a few smaller items like wings, legs, Et. Have a decent start on a cast iron cookware collection and use cast iron for cooking quite often.
Will be doing a lot of reading...
