    All Lump is not created equally

    It was the Steak House style. Thanks for the link to the lump charcoal. I found that thread and link after my wife bought me the R.O.S.H. That particular style doesn't rate well on their chart . Thanks. Peace , Wanbli

    All Lump is not created equally

    I did a 12 hour smoke yesterday using charcoal and wood. I tried 2 types of lump, Cowboy and Royal Oak and some hickory. I like the Cowboy more than the Royal Oak in every way. It had bigger chunks, burned longer and more evenly than the Royal Oak. The Royal Oak had nothing but small pieces...

    Sweet smokey birch

    I use the bark from Birches to light fires, it produces a heavy thick smoke. Does it do that while still on the logs? I know it smells awesome while burning though. I never thought to use it for smoking because of that smoke from the bark, sometimes it's thick and black smoke. There are oils in...

    wood

    Look in the want ads from your local newspaper. There should be somebody selling firewood and advertising it there. I just picked up a load of hickory for $40, split and ready to use. It filled the box of my pickup ( shortbox Chevy ). I buy wood from this guy at least once a year. He sells a lot...

    The best all beef hot-dog

    We have a local company that makes awesome hot dogs and sausages. Koegels is their name and if you ask somebody from Michigan they will tell you "Koegels is the Best Hot Dog In The World". They make a helluva bratwurst too but you can only get those in 10lb packs. Peace ,Wanbli

    Safe metals for cooker?

    I got cold roll steel @ Home Depot. They had it stored in a weird place, like back by wood moldings and doors. I got some 12"X12" pieces, they had some a little bigger too. Tractor Supply Company also had some in their hardware area. Good luck. Peace, Wanbli

    Seasoned wood?

    These branches definetely have no sap in them. So I'm going to take RickW's advice and use it like I stole it. lol. Thanks for the replies. When using an open pit and coals creosote isn't an issue. If there was any it was burned out before the grate went over the coals. The hickory burns clean...
