All of that food looks delicious, and hosting papa-pepper and family has got to be a singular experience. I'm glad to see this all happen.
On a side note about the pecan wood and the cooker—that isn't a pellet stove, right? You're putting in decent sized pieces of wood into it. I imagine, they still must be cut smaller to get enough wood in.
I've not seen a stove that essentially takes wood logs before, so that's why I'm asking. Does pecan give the meat a sweeter taste to it?
