Weekend cooker seasoning splitting wood and crawfish.

[k.a.m.]

Friday,
I did the first cook on Little Mama the first seasoning was just to seal up the steal because I could not cook that weekend.
I like to season my cookers with leg quarters because they take a lot of spice and create an awesome smell when they are high heat smoking.
This is what the first Pam spray seasoning did to the chamber.



40 lbs. of leg quarters seasoned with Big Ron's competition rub.


I ran the cooker between 275° and 325° the chicken looking pretty Happy.




The first run off.


All done and resting in the cambro for later. Debbie and I pulled the chicken bagged and froze it for later use.


After the chicken was off I cleaned up the grates and closed the intakes a bit to settle her down. I am liking how responsive she is to the intake adjustments.


The grates are looking better after every cook now.






Saturday,
We split 2.5/3 cords of red oak. A friend of mine and fellow cook team has about 5 trees that needed to go off some property so a few weeks back he and I along with another friend cut down two blocked them and hauled them to my house for later splitting. two splitters working and a crew of 7 folks we knocked it out.
One trailer load headed to the country to his place. Two 10' trailers were loaded earlier and hauled off to another teams home.


Some of the wood was already on my front area. Three of the racks are new.


Then we finished off the evening relaxing visiting and cooking up 70 lbs. of crawfish.

The rig and wood pile are more than excellent, Kevin.

Those crawfish have me drooling. I haven't been able to suck the heads and eat the tails since I left NOLA 11 years ago...and I miss it.

Sounds like an enjoyable day of honest work , good company & great food . A little hard work that will pay off for many of great meals

Chicken looks great, Kevin. and Little Mama looks like she's ready to do some serious Q'n. Especially with all that wood.

70lbs. of crawfish I need to get my azz back down there. If those were half as good as the ones we had a couple weeks ago...oh man

You guys sure know how to live it up down there. Seasoning cookers, busting wood, smoking chickens, crawfish cooking and sitting in the rocking chair. All I can say is I'm hungry now after looking at all that. Awesome!!!

Thank You Big O. I would have to make a pilgrimage south at least once a year Brother.

Thank You jar. Yeah a few of them young folks kept asking me how much I payed for a cord of wood and at the end of the day they said man that ain't near enough this is hard work!

Thank You Josh. You would've had a field day with those ice chests Brother.

Thank You Mike. It was a lot of work but with Good Friends it was sure enjoyable.
