After years of consideration I have come to the conclusion that if you study anything long enough. A determination will be reached that it can cause cancer

One of the advantages of life in south Texas....mesquite :)

mesquite is pretty expensive here as is hickory but orange is abundant and free.  it's a very hard wood.  makes great slingshots too.

I have access to citrus and mesquite for free (just go out back and do some trimming).

I use mesquite exclusively. I hear you about orange, but nothing beats well-cured mesquite heartwood.

ya mesquite is the real deal but far too pricey for me.  they get about two bucks or so a pound for it.   it sure does burn hot, slow and clean though.

The next time I buy a grill..which will be this Spring..I will make sure I also buy 2 sets of extra burners if they are cheap enough. This last grill's burners ended up costing as much as I paid for the complete grill. Plus they were hard to find.

I just got off of the phone with Lillian at pitts by JJ.  the price for a 20x30 grill is $650.  while the grill is without a doubt worth it, but basically I'm a cheapskate so I'll be turning my attention to either fabricating one in my shop myself or going to the home depot/lowe's/walmart for a massed produced product.  the last one is about twenty years old and I've rebuilt it twice but the steel has gotten thin from rust.

Thanks for the imput.  If I build me one I'll post photos if I can figure out how to work photo hanger.

Whats a "burner"?

Never heard of a Burner on a BBQ grill before.

Or are you talking about one of those outside stoves? ;)


Real grills dont have burners :p

Well my bbq grill is an LP jobbie. It has gas burners inside. As you referring to the things in someone's yard made of brick or something? Something you put charcoal or wood in?

A BBQ Grill is something you put wood or charcoal in for grilling.


Anything outside with gas burners isnt a BBq grill. It is an outside stove ;)

I've seen outside stoves smade out of brick too

culero,

I live in DFW but could drive about anywhere out in the country in Texas and ask to take some mesquite. And you know how folks are about land in Texas :)
