We'll overlook it this time Blue. But only because of your invitee status.:fam:

If it happens again though, I'm sending MJ down there to spend a nice looooonnnnggggg weekend sleeping on your couch and basically just hanging with the family and being obnoxious. You know. The stuff he's really good at.
Got it? :bat:

Right now it's costing me ~ $275 for a cord of wet oak. It's cheaper that way and I usually stay a cord ahead for the next year so it has time to dry. A big bag of lump mesquite charcoal runs ~$14. Looks like I'll be making a burn barrel.

I have several books on BBQ (not grilling, BBQ). The best is by a guy by the name of Smoky Hale. He spends alot of time describing the science of low and slow barbeque and is adamant the the best is from using embers from burned down wood as fuel. It is more work but seems to be worth the effort.

TH yes it is more work, but on a cold day it is more fun too! Make that barrel and keep an eye out on CraigsList's free section for some free hardwood.

BTW - nice avatar

CB, thank you! Your warning has been noted and I assure you it will NOT happen again!

Hey Blue, I do like the lexington Style................... on CHICKEN

Pork is a different story!

Looks like y'all had a great time, too bad I missed it!

Ah - there he is...I've been awaiting your arrival Sir Franco. :sly:

So now the TRUTH comes out and your story has changed! You do like it after all!

Just kidding around with you brother. Chicken and pork are still alot like W.E.T.

Its good even when its bad.
:nice:
