Grilling with orange wood


 
Looks good... I really like the ABT's, although I've only done them once or twice.... Those fish tacos you and Maribel made a little while back has not left my mind... I love fish tacos, one of my favorites...
 
Great cook

When I purchased my orange wood a few months I didn't think how I was going to cut it for smoking. The smaller logs I cut with my jig saw but this logs were to big. Yesterday I burned them and grilled some good food.

My potato mix went on first. Potato, onion, and jalapeño. Seasoned with garlic salt and pepper and a little oil.

Tony and Maribel;
As always, you good people NEVER disappoint! Good job - looks REALLY good!!

My youngest son gifted me with a box of pear wood. I need to run it under my chop saw, for proper "smoke" size. Should have it done in a day or so. I feel some RIBS coming up, I do, I do!!

Keep smokin',

Yes Tony I cook by feel too. Lately I have been using the reverse sear method. The steaks turn out very tender I think because the fat renders better but I don't get that beautiful red coloring to the meat. Whatever, you always do it right. Thanks for all the great posts.

I also have peach wood in big logs.:mad:
With the excitement of getting the I wood I didn't even bother to think how I was going to cut it.......lol
 
Dang, there are orange trees by the zillions here in Fl., gotta get me some.

Cook looks great Tony...................d
 
Food looks great and the prep pics are very informative, my bride is looking over my shoulder and she wants some taters like that, she went through the list, we have some red taters, red onions and red bells, have a cast iron skillet hanging on the wall over the stove, so looks like we'll be doing this real soon.

Thanks,

Karl
 
Well done, friend! The color of that steak looks amazing...inside and out.

No wonder your flames were shooting up and licking those steaks...you're grilling with trees in your kettle! Love it.
 
As always the meal looks great.

For the smoke wood get an electric chain saw. They are perfect for cutting small amounts of wood. Mine are used for oak and pecan trees. You can't force them. Let the saw do the work.

I've had the Remington brand for 20 years. It is lighter weight and easier for me to handle than the Home Depot model. I'm on my second Remington because the first started falling apart. Probably due to the times it was dropped from a tree. I don't have the upper body strength to use a pole saw, so trimming happens from a ladder.

I bought the Home Depot electric chain saw a few years ago. It is better made than the Remington. You should have no problem with the weight or bulk which will actually help with the cutting. Keep it oiled, tighten the chain frequently when it is new and it will last for years. Store upside down or with some cardboard underneath as they are known to leak oil. Kind of tacky but mine is stored in a cat litter pan with thick cardboard cut to fit the bottom. I change the cardboard a couple of times a year.

You excel at grilling and smoking. Now it is time to do some "lumberjacking".

Thank you Elaine.
 
Interesting post. The food came out great, but was there any problem with the heat off of a wood fire like that? (warping the coal grates.. or anything)?
