Tomorrow.. I'm going into the woods with an ax

[Inchworm]

I want to experiment with smoking meat as a form of food preservation. Hell, the Injuns and Ingles did it! I bet they didn't have to go buy forign wood chips from Suk-mart!

Any pointers?

:toast:

1. Wear earplugs....

the sound of all those trees screaming 'Sanctuary!!! Sanctuary!!!' as you murder one of their comrades will be deafening. :P

[Inchworm]

5. I'm surrounded by the screams

I'll look to cull the weaker ones ;)

:hi:

[undeterred]

2. Are you an ax murderer?

Which woods are you going into? I don't wanna be there.

6. I won't stray far from the house

and if you are that close, you'd know I was only chopping for good.

:hi:

3. Can you tell the difference between hickory

and say, black walnut? It helps to know such things.

Do you have a smokehouse? My grandmother built one, about 6 feet by 10 feet, out of native stone. Roofed it herself. I remember her smoking bacon and ham in it.

Good luck!

4. My Grandparents had a smokehouse.

I wish I had some of the meat that came out of it.

7. umm.. no

I'm good with poplar and locust...

Don't guess that helps much.

I want hickory and maple? Cherry?

:hi:
