Yes, the gator's tail is almost all meat. Cut into nuggets, breaded and fried it is very tasty. You have to eat it hot from the grease, or it is chewy. I've put gator into gumbo in the past, but my favorite is fried.

The corn stove burns the corn kernels, not the cob. Holds about 75 lbs. in the hopper and augers the corn in as needed to keep the heat setting you've selected. A full hopper will last us nearly 3 days.

Oh, ok, the corn stove is similar to the stoves my family in the Northwest uses. They use wood pellets and the pellets are augered into the stove, very clean burning.

I’ve wondered about gators. I’ll eat most everything from the sea, blow fish, seal, whale, and everything else that won’t get me first. It’s some of the “new” land stuff that’s new to me, ie, gator and nutrea.
