And then light the wood and stand back in amazement as the fire ball
reaches Chicago.

Sorry, sounds like a troll.

Must be a troll. I've never heard of soaking wood in whisky before.
It might fly if you're super rich or something, but for the average
every day barbecue, I don't think so.

Jack Dan. sells wood from the oak they age their whisky in. Good for a
FAST GRILLING, imho, not much good for a long smoke. The wood is
dried real well so that all the KABOOM juice has left the wood by
smoke time.

A-OK! Been lurkin, reading, sometimes laughing, sometimes shaking my

If it sounds like a troll, it is.

I'm guessing that most of the alcohol would evaporate off leaving...
um... corn flavor??? Hm... Seems like it would be just as effective
to burn up a couple of corn cobs in the firebox. Can't say I ever
wanted corn flavor in my meat, but I might be missing something.

That said, when grilling chicken (not slow smoking) I make a basting
sauce out of beer, butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and red
pepper. Cook it to a slow boil, then add 151 rum. It's hard to pour
in the rum since it seems like a waste,,, but it really adds to the
resulting flavor. Don't think I would waste it on wood chips, and
can't see corn whiskey (shine???) doing anything like that though, but
I could be wrong. It happened before once... HA!

See, the prob I have is that I have to shrink everything in order to
post it. Turns into a real pain in the ass sometimes. LOL!

I get what your sayin!

I still lurk there. But I don't say much.

Is there going to be a Sec. Santa thing this year?

Someone once said I was wrong about forgetting I was wrong. They were
wrong. Unless I'm wrong.

Well, actually - I did. Because I didn't see the post you were
responding to.

So I start a "silly argument" for you.

Nope, I actually thought I was right, but was proven wrong... It was
a very sad day...

However, if you weren't wrong about forgetting you were wrong, then
you are wrong for doubting your unwrongness, which is wrong.

Very true, or maybe not...
