I think you are right about the olive wood that we chipped @Tyrus. I will keep shaking the bucket and it should be dry quite quickly. As you can see from the picture above, the wood that we harvested is a relatively small haul. Just one cook's worth I reckon. I was going to throw away the leafy twigs on the right but I am wondering if they would do well on the fire once dried. I love the idea of food flavoured with a wonderful, gentle Mediterranean smell.

Those are definitely English muffins @Pequod and they look delicious! I now have a craving. Will get you a pic of a crumpet when I next make it to the supermarket. Crumpet is also slang for a good looking lady but I won't be posting a pic of her!

Have you a chop saw/miter saw? Slice the pieces to 1/2 in and keep them dry and allow air to flow around them. You'll be using them this summer,

Sourdough English Muffins with 10% fresh milled spelt. No idea what these are called in England. Muffins? Crumpets? Little hunks o’ bread? I should look that up.

I just had my Ha!o 4b delivered last week and converted it to natural gas last Thursday - I've had my Fontana pizza oven for several years now. Looks like we're about synced up!

will this work as a smoking bento box or am i dellusional? the red caulk is high temp silicon there is a divider in the box to keep the pellets from covering the holes. the divider does not hit the ceiling of the lid. there are two 1/8” holes on the empty side

Great looking muffins you have there !!!!

No olive wood here but I have used grape vine too. I lay some in the middle of the lump and it catches gradually throughout a long cook. I typically add it for long cooks like pork butts along with peach wood. If you add a lot it smells really nice in the yard , I think it smells like a really really light version of apple😁

Had some family over for dinner tonight. Cranked out a Bistecca Fiorentina for the adults (each steak around 900gram)… sausages and burgers for the kids. Made some home made chips, salad, some no-knead bread… amazing. Everyone happy.

I've not made it from true scratch, but I buy the Wagyu tallow online then cold smoke it in the KK. Lots of uses - like cooking potatoes (looking at you @tekobo) and slathering it on steaks instead of butter! And, it's "original purpose" - to smear on briskets when you wrap them in the pink butcher paper - ala Franklin BBQ.
