Tardis Smoke House Saga - the begining......

First off - Do you think they cold get any dirtier? You know Dr. Who would never be seen under dressed and sweaty, but I bet he never had the notion to smoke meat, in fact, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Dr. Who eat…..wonder if he ever visits the Food Network….

Back to Cherylwood now…

Starting with a love of pastrami, bacon and sausage...and of course that DIY notion deeply inset into our brains.......and hearts.....and the very fact that Kevin recently traded for a whole hog..........let's experiment with our own smoked meat ideas!

So appeared our Tardis Smoke House! It sits near the garden shed Kevin built and front of the carport he built...

As you can imagine, once again Kevin started with an idea (no blueprints) and began building with the fall off wood from the sawmill. Our Tardis stands at least 9 1/2 feet tall, not including the grey bricks. 

Get your own Tardis and make your own out of this world meat, or maybe for a garden shed, pretty out house….4 flat walls, 1 tin roof for $300.00, (assembly, delivery and blocks not included) contact us for

availability……

Gable Walls

Kevin & Arthur spent the past 2 days laying out the gable ends ……… this is why the stripped down  RV is full of milled wood and sitting under the carport…easy access for time efficient building.  This is also why we have the sawmill to begin with……to cut whatever lumber we need….and now Kevin needs about 7 more pieces to finish up the gables before setting…

Your 'Going Green' Interests..............

Not that he ever runs out of ideas, but Kevin suggested I find out what ‘Going Green’ followers and enthusiasts have interests in.  Is there a specific project or handmade item you have imagined but not located?

Kevin is always up for a challenge.  He loves playing with new ideas and then giving them 3 dimensional life.

As you can see, he’s got a good supply of wood to play with…..

p.s. His latest brainstorm is an eagle made from retired saw blades!

Burn Time!

Fortunate for us we do not live within the city limits and have the opportunity for natural burns. With a simple burn permit we make further use of the fall off wood, this time generated by us.

Living out in the country, 25 miles from town, we do not have ‘garbage’ pick up. You would be amazed at the amount of brush and weekender fall out that makes it way to our 5 dumpster dump, located on the only road into our sub-division. (Don’t get me started on what it looked like after the July 4th holiday!)

Arthur is in charge of cutting the fall off into manageable pieces with the skill saw. They are then were placed into the backhoe front loader and transported to our campfire site. A slow fire dries out the wood and the ash goes into the gardens.

P.s. Arthur is in charge of the marshmallows, dark chocolate and graham crackers in stock! More S'mores!

P.s.s.  The Pesto I made is already eaten!  Its amazing what it can do for meatloaf!  :)  While waiting for the basil to grow back, I guess it time to start thinking about harvesting a horseradish plant or two....
