Being a Texan I always opt for mesquite. It gives a very special taste to any bar=b=q.

I’d keep the spices down. You want to be able to taste that expensive meat for what it is.

Thank you both for the advice.

I’ll cut back on the garlic, but will use a small amount of Sage and use the mesquite chips and the olive oil.

Will let you know how it turns out. Better yet, if you could make it here by mid-afternoon, you’re both invited.

Regular 80% hamburger here in upstate NY is going for $5.00+. Better grades are $6.00 or more. Looks like we’ll be eating a lot of Venison this winter.

Thanks again, guys.
