Posted two new pics, one is my, Homemade WSM-ish Prototype and the
second shows the hickory supply that I now have. I took down an old
hickory tree and probably have a lifetimes supply now. Those logs are 18
inch across and 16 inch long! Am I a happy q'r!

I cut 2 or 3 trees that size when I was using the old direct fired pit. It
would take half a tree to cook a chicken.

When I redesigned to offset, a tree that size would last me at least a year.

Now that I'm using the WSM, it would indeed be a lifetime supply.

Good job.....enjoy.

That's the fact, Jack. Hickory is a great wood to burn for heat or smoke
for flavor, but it is one bitch to split.

I'm a contractor. If you want an opinion, I'll sell you one.
Which one do you want?

Brick's not that big a guy. I don't know if he'll support it all. Might
wanna stack some on Big Jim.
