Wood in New York City

I don't know if I want to reveal this.

But it is Christmastime.

No, I want this to be my secret. It's hard enough to find in Brooklyn.

But if more people know about it, then more people will buy it and it'll be more likely that the store will continue to stock it.

Oh, alright. Here goes....

Eagle Provisions, 628 5th Ave Brooklyn NY 11215 718-499-0026, besides stocking one of the largest and most diverse beer selections in New York, is selling Wicked Good Charcoal and wood chunks and chips from The Woodman!

I picked up some cherry wood - 3lbs for $7.99. They also stock hickory, oak, apple, olive, alder, wine barrel staves, ash and many more. No more searching the tri-state area looking for wood. I've found my source, even if it is a tad expensive.

Now I need to go cook something!

BBQ Equipment: Secret Sources

I don't know if I should reveal this secret to the rest of the barbecue world, but my undying loyalty to my readers compels me to do it. OK, here you go. If you're looking to buy a grill or a smoker, one of the best places to shop is craigslist.org.

Last year I purchased my Kamado Smoker from craigslist and my NB Hondo (which was sadly stolen from my yard before I ever got to use it) from craigslist. It's a great place to find the smokers and grills most stores don't carry.

Here's a sample listing from Minneapolis for the legendary Bandera Smoker:
