Old time smoke house

[Blizzard of '93]

well maybe we will see those days again - but quite an upheaval before those days return.
if you've checked the price on real cured, smoked and sliced hams - what a shock more than prime beefsteak.
but there's little that match the taste of a fresh, hot cathead buttermilk bisquit with a slice of fryed contry cured ham and a bit of the redeye gravy splashed atop.

I need to find the picture of my great grand pap's smoke house and post it. There was an ancient oak near his house that was hit by lightning and snapped off about 6' off ground level. The tree was huge and hollow. He hand forged hooks and hung the meat within the tree. he created a wooden flue to keep out the rain. Inside he kept a small fire. he used all sorts of hard woods and even left some olde tyme smoking hints for his kin folk. To this day our ribs are made with apple wood :thumbsup:

Apple wood would make a smoked pile of dung good. :haha:
