Chris started this off as a bbq thread and it has happily morphed into an ALL THINGS CULINARY thread.

I'll bring it back around to bbq/smoke for today's entry.
I have an old fig tree that I'm deadwooding this weekend and I'm reminded of the times I've used it for smoking in the past. It burns fast but smells cinnamony as it burns and actually puts a bit of that into spatchcocked chicken and pork along with a bit of floral. Never used it for fish but I bet it'd be dynamite.

If you have a tree and you've never tried it see what you think. Be sure it's seasoned well. Where I'm at that doesn't take too long.

We had a wild snowstorm last October that took down one of my in-laws crabapple trees. I took most of it for firewood, saved some of the best pieces for carving, etc.
Well, every time I smell it burning, I get hungry! I have yet to smoke something with it, but I just got around to carving a spoon with it this weekend.

I think scallops are the best thing to eat out of the sea hands down.

The Bacon Paradox

We stopped eating cured meat to save our hearts. We ended up destroying the very mechanism that protects them.

Today I’m making mock brisket, gold taters and homemade dinner rolls. I took a 4 lb chuck roast, dry rubbed with my Magic Dust and smoked with mesquite. I have it wrapped in pink butcher paper and finishing in oven. We’re getting extreme winds and sideways snow today. So I only smoked for 2 1/2 hours, during a break in the snow. While the meat was smoking, used stand mixer to make dough and let rise an hour. Then baked the rolls. As soon as they finished, I wrapped the meat and put into oven. Still trying to decide on roasting or frying taters.

This 3" thick chuck will be going on the gravity feed this afternoon with some mesquite lump and post oak pieces.

I could dig into that! Been in a recliner for 3.5 days hacking my lungs out. Not hungry, booze n chew taste like shite and not interested in shooting, but this afternoon it broke n had a shot of tequila and appetite is back! Yippe

Ringo, I sure wish you would take a pic or two of your dinner. Sounds like real good weekend feed.

Just priced some an hour ago while grabbing stuff for phö later this week, and the cheapest I've found is 9.99/lb. Beef prices are insane here.

Sorry guys, I didn’t take any pics of this. It sure came out good though! I usually take pics anf send to friends, just to tease that they’re missing out. I don’t know how to post pics either. Someone sent me instructions once, but I’ve never tried to attempt it. I’m definitely not computer savvy.
