Waitin on wood

[CharlotteLovesFood]

Dying to get smoking but my wood hasn't arrived yet, so I've just been playing in the meantime with direct cooking. Even Mr green fly is giving a high five :D

I think your definitely getting addicted to smoking food!
Which is a good thing!
That is a nice rig you have there, looks like you could cook just about anything anyway you want to!

Ha! I don't think I've ever seen a green fly before, much less one giving a high five!!

I agree with Al, nice set-up you have there.

What type of wood are you getting?

I think I definitely had versatiliy in mind and as much as I could get for my money. If I do take to the smoking whole joints and do it often enough I might splurge out at a later date on something better (I'm sure you guys have a few suggestions for me).

Its a happy habit. Nice rig and first class vittles so far. B

I've seen plenty but never devouring my food and giving a high five haha

Thanks...i've ordered Oak for now (chunks, as the chambers not massive) but I want to order some cherry wood and apple also.

I can imagine it is, I'm already a tad obsessed.
Thanks, I've just been rustling up steaks, chops, veggies, goujons...anything I can find in my fridge. My neighbours must think I'm crazy because it's not exactly our England bbq weather at the moment and I appear to be living outside :D

Looks good!

I mostly use oak too. (Post oak) I see that you are from England, how common is smoked food on the menu?

I'll refrain from commenting on the obvious first thought that came to my mind when I read the title of you thread.

Nice looking smoker you got Charlotte, and the food looks really good. The wait will be worth it, Hope you ordered enough to last a while.

To my knowledge (not that I go out much) not a lot at all. There are chain pubs that serve rubbish fake smoked food. We desperately need more smokehouses!

Interesting. Maybe someday you can open up your own smoke/bbq restaurant!!!! That would be awesome!!!! I got plenty of oak I can send you!!

 

[SmokinAl]

I don't understand why it's so hard to get wood in England. I know you have a lot of trees, and any hardwood will work for smoking. Can you explain!

I second this! Also yankee2bbq makes a good point. ;)

Whilst my mind usually works like that, that didn't even cross my mind haha.
Thanks, and I think I got about 8kg chunks coming no idea how long that will last me?

Direct cooking has its’ merits and chicken and veggies are a great example. Big fan of oak too. Nice setup!

I think you will be glad you joined here and are being active. The quality of the stuff I am doing has vastly improved since jumping in. Good luck!
