re: What/How Often Do You Grill over Wood?

Posted by rodnreel on 9/15/26 at 6:58 am to BigDropper

I have a friend who ownes a ranch in south Texas. Being retired I spend at least a month sometimes two there in the winter. We pick up mesquite wood that has fallen on the ground. We let it dry out until the next year.

The bigger pieces we use in a fire pit , the smaller we use in a bbq pit as the only source of heat, Pile it up like a TeePee and let it burn down. Food taste great

just curious- what do you use this for everyday?

My wife and I live full time in a motorhome since May of 2022, traveling all over the US..

The cooler is in one of the cargo bays. One side is at 0 degrees for overflow frozen stuff. The other side is at 28 degrees and stores my beer.

I had another brand and it didn't last long. This one is going strong.

I went last year. It has 5 museums under one roof. It takes two days to see everything. When you buy your ticket it allows you to enter any two days out of the next 7.

Just the gun museum is a whole day. It was worth it for me.

Liquid cooled running at 1800rpm. Most generators are rated running on propane. if running on NG KW will be 10-15% less. Several years ago cummings was rated using NG, don't know if it is still that way.

Best way to size is to turn on everything you want the generator to power and measure the amps, then size generator.

Six months ago I ordered grits at a restaurant in Jacksonville Fl. They were so good I asked the server about the recipe. She came back from the kitchen with the recipe. It matched mine except for one more ingredent.

Spill the beans, amigo.

Start with good quality stone ground grits. 4 to 1 liquid to grits ratio. Liquid is 1/2 water, 1/4 chicken stock, and 1/4 milk. Heat gently to a very low boil so you won't burn the milk. Slowly add grits and stir, add salt cover and lower fire to simmer. Stir every 5 minutes while cooking.

After about 10 minutes I add smoked gouda cheese and butter. The ingredent the restaurnt gave me was adding cream cheese. For 1 cup of grits add 1/3 of a slab of cream cheese.

Two things I did/do well are Bloody Marys and stone ground grits. Five years ago while in the French Quarter I ordered a BM and it was better than mine. I asked the server if they would give out the recipe and she said ask the bartender. He gave it to me without question,

I went 2 years ago. Bear lake area is great. Hiked up to Emerial Lake. this area needs it's own permit besides the park pemit. You will see about 20% of vehicles turn around because they don't have the Bear Lake permit.

Timed entry was required and opened at 5 PM moutain time for the next day. first evening I got on line at 5:10 and only a few spots left. Next afternoon at 4:50 I was on the site and 5:00:02 I could book any time I wanted. I used an Atomic clock app. for the time.

Rather than driving you can go by bus which is a nice option. Talk to the people at the welcome center in Estes Park for info.
