Burnin' Sticks, Take 1. Maiden (Re)Voyage of the S.S. Chuckwagon!

[MisterChrister]

First ever stick burner cook y'all! Watching and reading you farkers sure made this easy! I got this bad boy FREE from Brother Harbormaster. Clark, I can't thank you enough.....I've NEVER had so much fun Q'ing before!

This is an O.G. old school Chuckwagon pit. 3/16" welded all around, and about 10 sqft of grate space. What. A. BLAST! I really can't believe how easy this was. Up to temp and running thin blue within 30 minutes from when I fired the chimney. I got some nice cherry and hickory at the last minute from a pal, and also used some apple, white oak, and maple that I already had. She ran within 50 degrees from fire box end to the vertical cabinet on the left the whole time. Wow. I think I'm in love!

Oh yea!! Looks great man, Glad you enjoyed the first cook! I love cooking with wood/fire!

 

[effinUker]

That looks awesome, amazing texture on everything. Great way to start, huh?

 

[Harbormaster]

Can't tell you how glad I am that you're enjoying the pit and that it's working for you. It was a crime to have that pit in my garage unused, and you have demonstrated it found a good home.
Your cook looks pretty dang fine, and I would have eaten whatever came off of it.
Well done Chris!

[cheez59]

Something tells me that we are going to get even more enjoyment out of your cooking threads than we already do Chris. I didn't think that was possible but now I know it is.
