This is a 10” cedar “pencil” that is filled with a seasoning paste that can be tailored to the barbecuing or smoking you plan to do.
The PS is soaked for œ hour and then used like any chips or chunks. The spice goodness is released gradually and added to the smoke, along with the wood notes.
Salmon:
Cedar with Lemongrass
Beef: Mesquite with Rosemary & Thyme
Pork: Sea Grape with Chili & Garlic

Quick question though;
How on Earth did you accidentally splice an o and an e together while trying to spell the word 'one'? |
|
| |
I thought this would be a flavor for people who chew on writing implements. [+] |
|
| |
It’s made the same way pencils are made. 2 cylinder halves with a spice mixture sandwiched between instead of the graphite. |
|
| |
Diameter, length, and ratio of spice mixture are determined by the ‘cook’ you are doing. |
|
| |
Oh, you meant the ligature. I have special key on the side of my Chinese laptop that calls up the "œ.” |
|
| |
THANKS FOR NOT GIVING ME A BŒ. |
|
| |
[Voice] Flavorings for pencil-chewers is so much more HB than some BBQ BS. We will refit the factory accordingly. |
|
| |
Hmm.
Stuffing a text with ligatures would be a great way to make text harder to edit or steal. |
|
| |
Ligatures eh? Welp... that's my new word for today. |
|
| |
[Loris] A ligature stuffing takes longer to cook. The ligatures need time to break down and become tender. |
|
| |
{Pencil flavors for nervous accountants? #2 Prozak? Valium crayons?} |
|
| |
I thought it sounded medical. |
|
| |
"Doctor! You have to help. I've snapped my ligature!" |
|
| |
It's æsthetically pleasing and œconomises on space. |
|
| |
Note: Using carpenter-style flat pencils would allow more seasoning. All the tech exists, only the materials need to be changed. |

1: WIFRT, I was expecting a "pleasant scent" that gets released when you sharpened a (regular, writing) pencil.
2: If you're going with "pencil" as a descriptor, even for BBQ, it should be used with a sharpener; you can tailor the amount you spread across your food/coals (depending on use case). IE: A hard "lead" (rather than paste) of spiciness, & a wood of choice for the casing as usual.
(Disclaimer: I don't do BBQ smoking, so let me know if I'm off on a tangent...) |

My wife wants to run our restaurant with no previous experience. I told her when we first met that I've worked in too many restaurants and that they are like a licence to throw away money so unless we owned the restaurant and the land it sits on I would never be on board, and that she'd best cut-her-teeth on something small, so we bought a 1958 food bus, called it The Fork In The Road and she jumped in with both feet. Bus can't stay running in the winter so she rented a small bistro we called The Fork In The Road Too. |
|
| |
Well she pulled all of those things off, and we open in a couple of weeks, (yes many unanticipated curve-balls towards the end there). |
|
| |
She smokes brisket and turkey breast, and even the chicken wings before they get deep fried.
I should weigh several hundred pounds. |
|
| |
Of course I'll try it. All the best. Since you inevitably become married to a restaurant anyway it's very great she is out front on the project. Congratulations. |
|
| |
What [minoradjustments] said. And how's the vacation resort going? Ar you worried about AI taking over jobs and then your customers not having money to be your customers? |
|
| |
>I should weigh several hundred pounds. You gotta try it. |
|
| |
Obesity isn't as enjoyable as you may think. |
|
| |
First off, I work my ass off... literally. If I ever slow down then the amount of beer I drink and the quantity of incredible food I consume will obese me faster than you can blink. I spent my teenage years obese... I don't think I'll let that happen again. I haven't broken 150 pounds soaking wet in several decades, |
|
| |
As for AI?...
I like to think that I'm good at thinking up names or captions for things.
After a couple of weeks of writing down ideas my daughter asked chat gpt for an ideal name and it beat me to the punch.. |
|
| |
...I was kinda pissed., and yet at the same time impressed. It was such a weird feeling. I'd never felt that one before. |
|
| |
//It's very great she is out front on the project.// |
|
| |
Damn straight. I can resurrect this place... but I can't man it all. She's a phenom. |
