    Wifey had a hankering for some good smoky kabobs, so I cranked up some red oak in the keyhole right after work and by 5 it was ready to cook on.....

    Kabobs ready to cook, sitting next to the hickory slivers......

    That hickory was just cut and split a few weeks back, it sure burns yiur eyes when it's smoldering but man does it ever give a nice spicy flavor to the food!!

    If you look close in those pics you'll see an "all steak" kabob......my oldest son (who's autistic) don't like the veggies and 'shrooms......so he gets more steak! Lemme tell ya all three of my kids love firepit food just like my wife and I!!

    Big end for bonfires. Pull hot coals into the smaller squared section to cook over. cooking racks will fit better on the square end
