I cut up the branch of an apple tree. Free

Look around you and I bet you can come up with lots of free wood. Fallen
branches, tree trimmers, fruit orchards, etc.

I live on ten acres of heavily wooded ground. I heat with wood and have
about three cords of oak lying around. I live very close to the "Apple Hill"
area and can get fruit wood free. It's the mesquite and hickory I can't get.

I drove from Edmonton to Calgary once, and even though it was dark I don't
recall seeing any trees. In fact, I don't recall seeing anything but road
and cars.

As for WalMart, wait a week or two and those bags of chunks will go for $1.

I hear's 'ya Harry...not much out there in Winnipeg, but I have run
into a few oddities. Very few stores seem to sell anything expect
hickory and mesquite shavings...no chunks to be found. However, I
happened to walk into a Revy and found them selling Maple Leaf
charcoal and square chunks of maple for this weird grill system.
Plus, due to the kindness of a coworker, I have about a garbage bag's
worth of oak pieces.

The work you have to go through to BBQ in Canada...now if I could only
find some decent tea bags for sweet tea.

That's the key ingredient in my Grandma's special iced tea recipe. Of course
it's sweet, and she's lived in the Detroit area for 80 years now.

Revy/Rona have just recently added the Maple lump and chunks to their
line up, Michael. I'd welcome your report on the lump. I've been
buying Royal Oak from Can Tire and am well satisfied with it. They
have it all year; I doubt if Revy will as they dump out all the 'BBQ'
stuff every Autumn. My Can Tire also carries chunks, but Home Depot
have a better choice.

WTF is sweet tea?

An abomination.

Someone else will have to fill you in on the details. As I understand
it to be made in Charleston, SC, water, tea, and LOTS of sugar are
brought almost to a boil, and then the tea bags are left to seep. In
the parts of the US I've visited south of the Manson-Nixon Line, I
found it difficult if not impossible to find anything other than sweet
tea.

Try a half-and-half mix of iced tea and lemonade. That's tasty.

The postcard I picked up somewhere read: "I traveled the Trans-Can highway
and I saw...the Trans-Can highway!"

A bit sparse out there, but you have good beer, and plenty of space in which
to drink it.

I have read about this stuff[sweet tea], Kevin.. It sounds as bad as
'coffee I was fed in Jakarta - 1/3rd solid ground coffee , 1/3rd sugar
and 1/3rd tinned Carnation milk. I still have nightmares.

Don't know what I'm talkin' bout, but where I live in
Texas sweet tea is just iced tea with a spoonfull of
suger to sweeten it. And most places will give ya unsweetened
if ya ask fer it.

Newbie here but been drinking tea my whole life. Boil water add tea bags.
Mix tea and cold water with sugar and add ice. That's it. nothing special,
but as far as I know, in the South, a staple. Can't live anywhere below the
MDL and not know about it.
