Wife had drumsticks out, said "How do you wanna cook 'em?" I said, "Duh...on the pit!" Threw about 6-7 small cherry splits at the bottom of the ring and let em burn down half way. Then drug em under the grill. Added some baked beans and we're good to go. Our meal was really good.

Your pit came out great Stax, the food looks great too.

That's really cool, I bet that tastes amazing!
 
oh wow that looks delicious
 
Ah, and so it begins. Some little hickory bits on the coals would be nice too. I could see a nice steak searing away on that too.
 
Very nice! Now I'm hungry. :)
 
I like how you built the pit to your Grate size.

I built my pit and I cant find a Cooking Grate to fit :(

Looks awesome.... :)
 
Nice job, welcome to your newest addiction! Wait til you do steaks on that pit!!
 
You are contributing to the delinquency of a fat person! Now I am looking at those cherry and hickory stacks in a whole new way...
We still have a burn ban!....;sick
 
The pit looks awesome as well as the food!
 
That is so neat! I want to know how often a busy person like you is going to get to use it. Time to have some friends over and enjoy!
 
Very neat firepit there.

I've just eaten, and those drumsticks have made me hungry again......;)
 
Thanks guys for your words. It was awesome cooking with wood...first time. Save, come september we'll be out there a lot. Somehow I think we'll make time.
