Delicious looking!

Delicious looking!

It's getting there. I put a couple of ground lamb patties on there for awhile and they were awesome. I'm using apple wood pellets this time and the taste is perfect.

For those that have the pellet smokers, do yourself a favor and try a brisket using apple wood pellets. I still like my other woods but the apple gives a nice smoke ring but with a milder almost sweet smoke taste to the meat.

It is really good on pork, too....I've used green branches on charcoal and it was very tasty....too bad I can't get a taste over the phone....

We had one of our neighbors who is a heavy equipment contractor come by and give us an estimate on filling in the big usually dry pond. He is pretty reasonable and we will have him add a couple of hours to knock back that treeline that I'm working on a bit at a time. He can probably do in a couple of hours what it would take me a couple of weeks. Plus he can knock down some of the bigger trees and just push them over the old fence.

Equipment makes a huge difference.

Do you think he could dig up some of the ledge rock you are having to deal with? As for the treeline, PLEASE get some "before" and "after" pictures!

Equipment makes a huge difference.

Amen to that! I shudder to think just how little my Beautiful Gal and I would have gotten done without a chainsaw, a pole saw, a tractor, a shredder, a grapple, etc. And for Mike a bulldozer will definitely make short work of those trees, both small and big!

That wouldn't be practical. Right now the ledge is an area about 5' wide and intermittent in a couple of areas but I have grass growing right up to them so they are a minor inconvenience. Under the surface is solid rock going down no telling how far and how wide.

Remind me not to come here(@Mike CHS journal) hungry (just like never go to the grocery store hungry)!

I have a lot of grass to cut today so I just put a brisket on the smoker to cook while I'm out there. It should be done around 6:00.

And you were probably done (in) before that!

What is the purpose of filling it in if it is usually dry?
