Het Chris, want me to pack Jo's dog box full of mesquite for you this weekend in Lampases? Not sure how much mesquite you have access to but thought I'd offer, play your cards right and she might even unload it into your truck.  |

Slim, I am not going to make it to Lampasas this weekend.  Just ask her nicely to make a slight detour in Houston on her way to the meeting. Heck, I'll even meet her in the woodland's so she does not have to drive so far south I do need a good source for seasoned fire wood in the Houston area. I would like to have some of the following. Mesquite, Red oak, Post oak, Pecan, and Hickory... I had a pecan orchard, about 2 hours away, contact me about hog removal earlier this week, they sell pecan for 90.00 cord. I figure I will pick up a load from them at some point and split it with my neighbors or something. Here are the updates I did to the smoker based on some member recommendations. Gas pipe in fire box, and elevated grate in firebox   view from the top of firebox, showing the grilling area I put on top of box, and gas pipe functioning.  I don't like messing with the low volume regulators when I want a lot of juice coming from the propane bottle, so I modified a Victor regulator that will put out plenty of gas.  I decided to have one propane cylinder provide the fuel source for both my firebox gas line, and to feed a crawfish pot/ turkey fryer. A line comes from the high pressure regulator into a Tee, then goes to either a low pressure regulator for the firebox or to a 1/2" 1/4 turn ball valve for the turkey fryer. This lets me have plenty of gas to boil water when needed.  Got the pit oiled and cured yesterday...has a great smoke smell to it when you open the door now. Only thing I need left is to get some good recipes from y'all. Bryant shared a bacon wrapped pork loin recipe that I plan to try soon. Help me out here, and give me some good easy to follow recipes for the smoker... Brisket, ribs, whole chickens, etc.... |

Paul,
I appreciate the offer... A couple of hours ago I ordered in a 1/2 cord of Red oak, 1/2 cord of Pecan, and 1/2 cord of Mesquite. It is supposed to be delivered and stacked this Friday.

Bryant,
I haven't cooked anything on it lately. Been going to the neighbors barn when we want to cook out. Two nights ago we had about 15-20 people over for fajitas and cold cervezas, and my little cooker can't handle that volume.
Probably one of my favorites so far is a pork loin with a jar of salsa poured on it, then wrapped in foil and smoked. I can't remember if you gave me the recipe, or someone else did, but it's great!
Coon-Arse Turtles... I saw those on 2Cool the other day. I think I would have to substitute the weenies for some real sausage.

Yea, that was a funny thread over on 2cool. Added about five or six new pictures to my "funny pic" collection off that. Probably one of my favorites so far is a pork loin with a jar of salsa poured on it, then wrapped in foil and smoked. I can't remember if you gave me the recipe, or someone else did, but it's great!
That wasn't me, but sounds pretty good. I may have to give that a try this weekend! Wrapping it in foil from the start just seems to defeat the purpose of using a smoker though... |

When we already have the smoker going, for ribs, or something along those lines, I will go ahead and put a loin on wrapped in foil with salsa. |
