I want to do some cooking, barbecueing with wood (not smoking) and was wondering how to go about it. It's just for me and the wife (boss), so I was thinking of using a small charcoal grill; do I use charcoal and then put some small wood splits on top, or just use the wood and let the flames die down and cook on it then? Do I use a small grill with a lid that I can close, or just an open fire? I have lots of wood that is split real little for chimineas that I know should be great for cooking on, such as Apple, Cherry, Hickory, etc. and started thinking that it would be cool to cook over it. I know that you guys sometimes talk about the certain woods being great for smoking; I'm sure that the above mentioned are good for cooking...any advice/help will be appreciated-thanks so much! :greenchainsaw:
