Not doing much outside today, it’s raining cats and dogs. It’s a good chance to catch up on shelling my stash of fresh pecans. I’ve heard tell of using the shells for smoking meat so I’ll save them and try it out soon on baby back ribs or a pork shoulder.

Great photo! I haven’t tried the shells but I use pecan wood when smoking ribs, it provides a flavor I really like without the harshness that can accompany mesquite or hickory.

I have mostly used apple or cherry. I’ve been meaning to get some pecan wood.
I try to get by with my own wood. Some are “approved” smoking wood ~ apple, maple, and cherry. But the one I have the most of is ash, thanks to the Emerald Ash Borer. It actually makes a nice mild smoke.
And I have a stack of ash lumber milled on a friend’s sawmill for guitar bodies😎

I have shagbark hickories that I grew from nuts that will be ready in about eighty years🤪

I love the idea of using what you have, and planting to provide for future generations. Love it!
 
The salsa is made (store bought actually - really good stuff (Tostitos) ) and Cindy will be making guacamole just before the game. I'm pretty much neutral but lean just a tad to Kansas City. Whoever (or is it whomever) wins the game I just hope it's a good game. This CV Trapper will make a good companion while watching the game. Sausage and waffles for breakfast.
