The other day, I cut some 2 foot pecan logs for a good customer. "2 foot and pecan" can be ugly words on a sawmill

. I did it because he was a good customer. He had 18 of them, but we got it done. Maybe next time, he will cut them 3 foot :D.

I assume that they were 2' length not diameter ???

"2 foot" longwise

. In the North, they call that "firewood" :D.

Yes, up north, I don't think we ever called anything shorter than 6' a log. Maybe nothing shorter than 8'. If it was shorter it was a piece, a stick, or maybe a bolt (bolt-wood). I come down here and people talk about firewood logs, and they mean these itty bitty pieces of firewood. They also talk about a substance known as "barbecue" whereas where I come from a "barbecue" is an event. Oh well.

I saw where MagicMan invited ya to a Chicken Crispin'. Some would call that a bbq, others would say some bbq...

Both would probably be right.

Well, if he is generous enough to hold a barbecue event with some barbecue substance, I would see if I could go and help myself to a whack of it! ;D And I might even bring some okra and make some gumbo (oh, now THAT is a substance!) to go with! I'll make my secret recipe..... :P

Magicman · February 11, 2012, 08:33:59 AM

And I really like gumbo.

And another thread has turned to food!!!! ;D

Someone at the chikn crispn told Bill and I we weren't ''southern'' because we are form northeast Oklahoma. I guess SC would be southern. :D ???
I am sure glad I went. It wwas a good time and I got to meet in person a few of the great people on here, Plus I learned how to make Chikn in one of them High dollar smokers! PC

Magicman · February 11, 2012, 08:45:39 AM

Anyone that likes grits or gumbo is Southern enough.

I am starting to think you guys are hijacking my thread about the quality logs I get. :D Then again the food sounds better than those logs. Keep food talk coming.
