Not deterred by the pending snow, fired up the KK to do some jerk chicken on pimento wood, of course! And because it was the Ides of March, plated with a Caesar salad to go with the pineapple salsa. Glad that I got this cook in, because this is what I woke up to this morning.

Pimento wood...musta been a special occasion, no secret how you value it's importance and scarcity. The snow, better you than me, I've seen enough....looking forward to spring. Nice plate by the way.

Probably just a California thing, but when I buy black walnut from the lumber yard I get sent Material Data Safety Sheets (MSDS) warning of inhaling the smoke.

Finally got around to using a few slices off of piece of KD walnut. I was impressed at the amount of smoke and how long it provided a smoke for. It wasn't white smoke or a creosote laden smoke but an abundant amount yet light on the nose. I feel it worked well, however due to the issue with my latch falling off in my hand I lost track of this experiment by trying to save my cook from failure. But yah, it appears a go with some minor tweaking. Good candidate for the SS smoke pot, that I will try when my new latch is installed.
