Title: I for one really like the "stick burners"
Post by: tlg4942 on December 01, 2011, 01:52:07 PM: , Mainly because it irritated someone once :o that I would use sticks from the yard...but , when you have good hardwood sticks falling around the place why not use them!?
In fact they add a great smoky flavor to the food and work well in my Hibachi.

Nothing like a real "crafted" 'Q job from an old offset! And - if you got hardwoods shedding limbs this time oyear - why have to buy or cut down a tree?

I'll be honest at home I use a verticle smoker ,have both a double-chef & a WSM. During perfect weather with a chest of ice cold Corona's , & Fleetwood Mac. On pandora I'll fire up my home offset ;D

Post by: IR2dum on December 03, 2011, 03:54:11 AM: Dee, it's been so dry in Texas this year that we don't have any "green" wood left. It is drying on the tree just before it falls.

Post by: bill sack on December 12, 2011, 06:51:31 PM: actually i prefer wood to any of the other fuels and i have used them all..........its harder to use , more work involved but the taste is worth it. 8)

Post by: deestafford on December 12, 2011, 09:20:21 PM: That's one of the reasons I like it here and at SOTG is there are no prima donnas about what way or technique is the best or what way of cooking should be avoided. We can all learn from each other no matter what method of cooking is used. For instance, even though Old Dave was cooking a spatchcocked chicken on a different type of smoker than I have, I learned so much that I could transfer to my cooking. There ain't no "best" way or tecnique for cooking. I even learned something from IR2Dum...'course I never learned anything from an Auburn graduate. Dee

Post by: IR2dum on December 13, 2011, 03:08:03 AM: Dee, I think what you and most others have learned from me is don't take my advice. But, Dee, on the bright side, I never went to Auburn.

Post by: hal4uk on December 18, 2011, 06:10:56 PM: It's a Peoria Custom Cookers "Meat Monster".
http://www.peoriacookers.com/custom-cookers/meat-monster.html (http://www.peoriacookers.com/custom-cookers/meat-monster.html)
It's pretty much decked out with options, including the competition firebox.

And yes (rib me all you want, because it's true)...
I traded a Porsche for it.
