I have a medium size mesquite tree in the yard, and when I prune it, I chop up the remains and hold ‘em for rib grilling season...<<<

Good for you, excellent idea.

I love real wood fires for cooking.

I am curious, and would like to try her method in a crockpot, an interesting experiment.

If you had a few chips in the bottom of the crockpot and baked potatoes, would they taste like campfire cooked potatoes?

You don’t use water in the crockpot for potatoes, just toss them in and bake...........

I wonder if you put soaked, charred pieces of apple or mesquite in a foil packet in an oven with your food, would that give you a smoky flavor? hmmmm, interesting question...

I never thought of that! Great idea! How long does it take on low, and how long on high?
