Just thinking out loud.

October 20, 2019, 05:55 PM

Damn, since following Stickburner Wood Question and Second ever all wood cook by Dewesq55 post. I have started thinking a stick burner would be great. It’s not like I need it. But I sure do WANT one. I think it would be nice to have the option in addition to my YS460. I know the fire management is a long curve and I also know I really enjoy sitting by the cooker watching and smelling.
Have gone from a Klose (like my grill) to a Lang and now to the Lone Star 24x40 as the one I want.
Note to self NO!……Wait how about not now. I’m better for to save some $ and then pull the trigger, maybe next year. Plus SWMBO would be more understanding!
I just know you people will be of no help resisting!

Fuels Used:
Splits/Chunks, whatever I can get. Usually B&B competition. Favorites are Cherry, Apple, Post Oak, and Hickory.
Pellets, Lumberjack.
Charcoal, whatever is on sale. Currently have a bunch of KBB. Will eventually try B&B. Use whatever lump is on sale in my Ooni.

Rubs:
Usually make my own riff’s on Memphis Dust and BBBR. Also use Meathead’s commercial rubs and occasionally try something new. I like a couple from Tuffy Stone and Kinder’s. After several surgeries, I’m very sensitive to “spicy” stuff, so I need to be careful about heat levels.

Here in Texas we have beer, chips, and salsa A stick burner is nice but not for every day use. But, it is sure nice when you have the time and, even better, friends to hang out with while cooking.

Interestingly, tonight while eating ribs for dinner, my SWMBO. said: "so why don't we have a good/expensive smoker since we use it so much?" I almost fell off my chair! Them so asked how much a good one costs. When I told her she she didn't flinch. Maybe there's hope for the future.

RickyBobby my heart belongs to The Good One Heritage Oven, although the Open Range will do in a pinch.
