Smoked meat

[Ranching]

I have a couple of old Oak Wine barrels at my place, i was fixing to throw them away when i thought, may e i can use them to smoke my brisket, pork butts, turkeys etc. Any of you have any insight on this? Thanks in advance for all the good answers and all of the jokes about smoking my meat. Lol

I read "smoke weed" and was like, "Coach, talk about retiring!"

You can use them. Jack Daniels makes wood chips for smoking out of their barrels. Works great on chicken.

I have used one that I got in Napa a few years ago, just make sure there are no pine dowels on the sides and you are good to go.

Err mer gerd. Do want smoked chicken now. I may have to go to Hard 8 tonight.

Seems plausible. I'd cut them up into chunks, soak some of the chunks in water then get a charcoal fire going and add some of the chunks to it. Check it out and see if it's a nice pleasant smokey smoke, or if it's acrid or nasty in any way. If the latter, I'd toss it. If the former, you've got the green light to use it for some serious cooking!

I knew you would chime in sooner or later.

If you can afford the slightly higher price, get charcoal wood chunks instead of the briquettes. Better tasting meat is the result.

If you can't afford the price, sell something or get a *second job so you can!

(edit: added "second" job so as not to sound like a grumpy old man)
