    cottonwood for smoking?

    This and other discussions I found on cottonwood make me wonder if we are talking about the same tree.  Even dry, I wouldn't want cottonwood anywhere near my food.

    cottonwood for smoking?

    For what it is worth, cottonwood also takes a long time to dry (up to two years) and will sometimes rot before it dries. Smell isn't quite so bad when fully dried.

    cottonwood for smoking?

    Doesn't burn hot and the smoke stinks. At least that is my experience.

    Aspin Wood??

    After many years of heating with wood, I can say aspen burns slow and cold. Not much heat and hard to keep going. I actually regulated fire temperatures with it.

    cherry cola ribs for a reunion.

    I'm going to have to wait a little before giving the sauce recipe out. I may have someone interested in paying for the recipe. I don't think I should give it away before hearing the details.

    My first time out--baby back ribs

    I've used chunks too, but I go through those quickly. The splits give longer more controlled burns for me.

    My first time out--baby back ribs

    I do use lump charcoal start the fire and again after I foil. So far, that is cheaper for me. After I get some firewood cut and collected, I will probably just use charcoal to get it going. I haven't found anything as easy or quick as charcoal in a chimney.

    My first time out--baby back ribs

    I've used small logs in my char-griller and I have better success keeping the temps even. Split logs between 6 and 8 inches long, 2 to 3 inches wide seem to work the best. I first tried this with pecan and hickory splits I found at a local farm store.

    Ribs for kids

    I must say that if you haven't tried the cherry coke on ribs, you should. I just used that and a simple SPG rub until the last hour. I added a cherry coke BBQ at the end. I made sure the cherry flavor stayed with the sauce. Wonderful ribs.

    cherry cola ribs for a reunion.

    Fell off while wrapping to rest. Must be a gift from the pork gods. Hmmm.

    cherry cola ribs for a reunion.

    Less than an hour to go. Smoker got a little hot at one point, but it should work.

    I love having skills that I can barter with............

    Smoked tomatoes sound wonderful.  I may need to try that at some point.  As to the trading of skills, I traded some smoked pork for some lawn mowing.  Good deal for me.
