On Monday my truck was being serviced, so did a little backyard smoking. I had just cut up a newly downed oak for a friend, so had a bit of green wood.
Frame made over fire pit. Grill added for convenience - any wire or cordage will work.

While that was going on - time to skin some green wood (I prefer to smoke without any bark on).
For the stick skinning - choose your favorite tool.

I chose the hatchet. I've been growing more fond of them. Sharpened properly, there isn't too much it cannot do in the field.

I used my canvas tarp (neighbors wouldn't appreciate me delimbing their trees to contain the smoke).

I want to smoke, not cook the meat. Checking temperatures the scientific way.

Add the meat - I cheated and marinated it in Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce.
