This is how it's done

[Jon Solberg]

Look. Bbq ain't easy. SnS makes life good. If you just want to sit back and do nothing ceramic is for you. But if you want to earn your cooks go cut wood and wait a year!

[Huskee]

Earnin' your cooks is spot on! Cutting wood isn't easy that's for sure, but burning it is, and eating them wood-smoked meats is too!

[Jerod Broussard]

Edward Scissor Hands ain't got nothin' on you if you can hold all those saws at the same time.

Respect!!!!

Took down some hickory and cherry earlier this year and have it stacked for next year.

Have maple, hickory, and a little cherry and pecan left from last year.

I love my PBC, Kettle+SnS, and pellet cookers but it is sure hard to beat the feeling and the Q you get from feeding splits into a log or stick burner.

[Breadhead]

Jon Solberg ... I GREATLY admire you stick burner guys, a lot.

However at 65 years of age I'm not going to cut trees down, section them to size and split them with an axe. I'm not going to stay up all night feeding a fire. That's for you young bucks that can do that stuff and enjoy doing it.👍

Thanks for the pictures. How many beers does it take to get all that done?😆

[Jerod Broussard]

Quit crying PaulstheRibList I haven't had a beer/any alcohol since August of '95, at Cowboys in Lake Charles, go figure....

[PaulstheRibList]

My last drink at Cowboys was in, I'm thinking, 1989. I do not want to recall the events that transpired with me in any bar from my youth. #trying2findajokeinthere #none

[Potkettleblack]

At 43, I concur with Breadhead. All this moving around and doing stuff is great. But I'm happy to sit and enjoy the fire.

And my condo insurance would never allow a stick burner. And there's probably some Chicago ordinance about collecting your own firewood.

[DWCowles]

BBQ cook with ALL wood is absolutely the BEST! Don't even try to convince me otherwise! I'm 59 yrs old and as long as I can pick up a chainsaw I will continue cutting my own wood. And drink my beer

[Huskee]

You cut your own beer?

[DWCowles]

LOL Huskee after I had enough beer there ain't no telling what I will cut

[Huskee]

DWCowles Aw man, you edited it. It looked better when you said "I will continue cutting my own wood. And beer." Lol.

[PaulstheRibList]

Yes!!!!!!! #Respect #WoodEqualsCool

[Jerod Broussard]

I'd love an Ol' Hickory CTO, cause that dude would have just enough wood at the beginning to say I used some wood.

[Jon Solberg]

Thanks everyone. Lots of sweat today for cooking tomorow. Sometimes I wish I could take the easy way out and get some Fogo sit back and tell you all what to do but I just ain't that smart. Stand by for updates

[DWCowles]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

I really do like sitting on my deck having an adult beverage watching my DigiQ control my BGE while I watch you guys cut trees down. It's really quite entertaining. I truly, truly understand your passion. Your commitment to produce kick ass BBQ.

I've never said what we Kamado guys can do in our cookers is on your level but, us Kamado guys/girls are quite pleased with the taste of the food we can produce.

We have griller's and BBQ guys/girls in the Pit. We all use different cookers. But we can all help each other out in some way, shape or form. Temps, recipes and how to tweak a cook.

I don't have a stick burner or a PBC but I enjoy following both types of cookers and those that are really good with those cookers.

I do have MCS but I'm controlling it fairly well. I only have 4 cookers. I only had one cooker when I joined the Pit.🙄

I just want you all to know... We're in this together. I like what you do! I like observing your methods, your techniques and how hard you work to achieve it. That's commitment.👌

[fuzzydaddy]

I grew up around a pit that my grandfather built with a cast iron stove embedded in a concrete rectangle shape. The top of it was where he shoveled and spread out the hickory coals from the stove. The pork shoulders he cooked had a piece of old barn metal roofing laid over them while they cooked. He would occasionally give me a piece of crispy, fatty bark. That's my bbq roots. Beautiful memories.

We heat and now we cook with wood. Very little Natural Gas is used in this house.

[CandySueQ]

I like cooking with stick wood! But I buy my wood now. When some lowlife stole the log splitter over at the sawmill, my home-grown wood supply dried up. Except for the little compressed sticks, that is.

Jon Solberg, All those Saws for 1/2 Cord of Wood? Your organization seems top Heavy? The Most Wood I ever Cut and Split in a Day was at a Logging Show at the Packer Field in Green Bay WI! I am having an OldTimers Moment, but I was working wit the People who developed the Prentice Log Loader then Sold it to Omark! They were demonstrating their Firewood Processor, we Cut and Split about Six Semi Loads of Tree Length Harwood into Firewood in about 3-4 Hrs. I was loading the Live Deck with a Bobcat and Log Grapple!
As far as the Felling Part, I cut and bunched +- 24 Semi Trailers in a about 4-5 Hrs on a Demonstration! The owner of the Company said he Couldn't Buy the Machine because it would throw his Production Off? He had previously told me their average production was 5-8 Loads Per Day! I had enough Wood on the Ground for him to Make His Down Payment on the $85,000 Machine?
Jon, I take it back maybe $1800.00 worth of Stihl's for $85.00 worth of Wood Ain't All That Bad?
