Thanks, Paul. But, I think it's evident this glog has about run its course, if the lack of posts is any indication. Have a great season! I'm growing them for the first time, too. I've been treating them like a green Hatch chile. Not much difference between the two, I don't think.

Scott, you're a workaholic!  By the way, what does one do with a skunk once they have it trapped?

  Do you usually let them turn red?

Yeah, it's home. 90F today. Doing a brisket as I post.

Dominoes ftw!

Still playing with this wood burner UDS, and swivel grate.  I thought I would do wings and see how the skin would turn out over the oak fire.  A simple, thin mayo slather, salt, coarse black pepper for seasoning.  No sauces.   Using a new toy.  A scary tool, I must say.   It is ON.   Temp...

I like some char.

I'm afraid how big Cheri's might be. That was her name, right?

Did they succumb to Facebook? Will you, too, leave the building?

Rogue Serlano.  Note the tell tale signs of over fertilization and insect attack.  It's all good.  

The Serlano throwdown is a separate throwdown, right?

You mean, I could have just purchased a Serlano rather than growing it from seed?

Seasoned

This is my Big Poppa UDS modded to use charcoal, or straight wood splits.    Under the dome is a grill that swivels 360 degrees, although, this would never be necessary.   Grill exposed.  Wood is loaded through the top.  I thought of adding a door to the barrel side, but see now, that would be...

Photos,please!

First harvest of green chiles.  On the small side for the first round.
