    Identifying good smoking wood.

    A good source for Apple / peach (usually free) is a local orchard. I called some in my area and they said, bring your truck and get all you want. The orchards in my area have piles of old trees and branches that are great. I also got some grape vine I plan to try on a pork loin soon... Thanks...

    Smoking Meat in a FRACTION of the Time?!

    I have never seen this contraption, BUT in boy scouts we made something like this out of a stainless steal waste can. We cooked a chicken and all kinds of stuff on it. It was pretty good but keep in mind I was 12. Back then anything that I could eat that didnt kill me was pretty good.

    Is this Lump??

    Ever see the Discovery Channel show Dirty Jobs? They did a episode on how charcoal is made. A lot of it is old construction material, untreated of course. So, I would say to find a chunk of 2x4 (as long as its oak) is probably not impossible.

    Interesting article...hunting & fishing

    Unfortunately, this probably is a trend. I am a hard core, life long hunter and fishermen with three kids. None of which are particularly interested in either. They show some interest in fishing but little to none in hunting. I have not forced the issue for fear of pushing them away from the...

    Need advice

    I have gone the rout of trying to smoke pork tender lion. Its not too hard but you have to be careful because you can overcook it in a heartbeat. I inject mine with a butter/garlic/Italian seasonings mixture (nothing special just mix the seasonings to taste in about a stick of melted butter.)...

    Smoker / Grill construction

    I thought it would be cool to get a discussion going on the fabrication of smokers and grills. I was thinking everything from the Gal drum with a grate on it to the multi thousand dollar "pit" that you need a semi to haul. I am a shade tree metal worker and wanna be mechanical engineer (I know...
