Great thread, thanks for the info guys! Between all the smokin wood I have now (apple, sugar maple, hickory) have to build a smoker. NOW, you can't have smoked meat without spirits, also, spirits are "required" when smoking meat. One has to stand watch over said smoker with a keen sense of awareness. That cannot be accomplished without spirits..........uh, and tunes, music helps tenderize the meat. Yes, must have tunes.


It's difficult process, not for the feeble minded. Whatever that means.


Another note of interest, LadyHK and I were out on the 4-wheeler the other day. We were up on the ridge of the new place, you could smell the mash from the distillery (Jack Daniels) it was pretty heavy in the air. Soooooo?
