Firemonkey Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 LeadDog - I was looking at making a big order of various smoke woods from Chigger Creek in Missouri. They listed their various woods, and some characteristics of each. I saw that they list Grape wood as well. http://www.chiggercreekproducts.net/files/14519833.pdf Who better to ask about it than our resident grape monger? Have you tried smoking with Grape?

tcoliver Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Thanks Leaddog I appreciate it, but as Curley states the shipping puts it out of reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like for me it is best to keep the charcoal a regional deal. Makes you wonder how anyone else ships charcoal all over the country for sale. Grapes as fire wood? I have not ever used grape to smoke with or for smoking. I had a teacher in school who said she got to burn grape "wood" one winter and it was fine. Maybe I should throw some canes on the fire and see how they smell. The store hours are from 8am to 6pm. The KK is getting some nice dark coloration around the top where the smoke exits, I think it looks cool. I think a few more people have yet to show their center of the universe pictures. Does anyone need directions on how to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firemonkey, I have used it a couple times for smoke wood. Thought it was a nice mild smoke, kinda like apple. -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samantha Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 I stopped by LeadDog's family store yesterday and purchased some almond lump. I haven't cooked with it yet as I don't have my KK yet... but it will be a masterpiece ! I have opened the bag and the size of the lump is good, appearing to be predominately fist sized (manly fist). LeadDog was not there, I assume he was off making wine or slaying deer. A couple of LeadDog's women folk were around and they are very impressed with his cooking on his KK. They are totally amazed that he even bakes cookies on his BBQ. The KK has made LeadDog a legend in his family! By the way, I did not see any deer hanging by their tiny hooves while I was there, but the other barnyard animals all seemed very nervous! For the life of me I could not find the home made wine either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they will be talking about old yellar long after he's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can never have too many women-folk, provided you manage them properly and never let them gather in one place. If allowed to assemble, once they reach critical mass, the happiness forcast for the male inverts. If that happens, nothing is ever the same again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeadDog Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 I haven't cooked with it yet as I don't have my KK yet... but it will be a masterpiece ! The KK cooker color police want to know what color you are getting and all of the rest of the details. Did Dennis send you a picture of it? You have to share with the rest of us you know.

LeadDog Posted February 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Here is another cool picture of the center of the universe. Curly what do you think of that place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanny Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Well, looks like an ok place, albeit hot, but I don't see a ceramic cooker there. I think it needs one or two. See to it, won't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curly Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Here is another cool picture of the center of the universe. Curly what do you think of that place?

LeadDog Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 You know these satellite pictures of the Earth sure are interesting to look at. It is amazing at what you can find. Curly you know the last picture was really a set up for this picture. I'm looking forward to your insights to this picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanny Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 The one to the right is flat topped. Probably not be Egypt. Could be X'ian China. Lots of farm around it, and the Emperor of Qin dynasty had a flat topped one. Egypt would be arid, and I don't recall seeing farm land around the Central American ones. There is, though, cultivation around the X'ian one, as I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
