Last year when the power was down, I was living in an apartment. But I had a way to cook - a nifty little alcohol stove. Now the was sufficient to get me hot coffee and meals, but I would have liked to do some grilling - especially since the meat from my freezer was slowly defrosting.... There was a communal grill but I had no charcoal... go figure. At least I had my little stove.
So I've moved and now have a little house which makes me very happy. And I've been working to round out my preps. Today, my KUDU grill arrived.
It's a cool Australian style wood burning grill. Here's the web site: https://kudugrills.com/ They've got a sale going and that enticed me to pull the trigger = $100 off normal price.
I haven't unpacked it yet but I can tell you it is very heavy. I am really looking forward to using it. The legs are self-leveling.
Now, I have to get some good split mesquite wood. I've found a guy on the southwest side here in SA on Craig's list that actually delivers - $110 for a 1/2 cord which is plenty I figure - that would keep me going for a while. That's 2'x8'x4'.
Anybody have a good source you can recommend? I would really rather have like 1 1/2' long pieces as the grill is about 2' in diameter... I also have a splitter thing coming that you put the wood into and then hit with a hammer and it splits against the blade down in it. This is for cooking so I want small pieces...
I need to construct a simple rack for the wood to keep it up off the ground... I have several projects planned - a back deck is another one - to put the grill on.
