Hi all,
We're going to Grayton the weekend of Oct 27th and will need to buy some firewood for our beach bonfire! Can someone please let me know the best and most reasonable place to purchase wood? I know that many people have bonfires, so there must be somewhere pretty close to get it. We're sure as heck not going to cart wood all the way from Memphis, TN down there in an overloaded car! THANKS!:clap:
Also, we're planning on catering barbecue Friday night from the Destin Commisary and I'm hoping that it's real Memphis barbecue. Hear that it's great. Anyone know?
THANKS AGAIN!
Gwyn😀

and a great way to get rusty nails stuck in your feet when walking down the beach. :bang:

Sorry about my pallet statement. I had really had assumed that they would burn in a barrel, clean up, etc. I agree: no nails in anybody's feet. Mia culppa
I understand. Most people tend to take the path of least resistance and don't bother with removing the nails or staples, so I just hate giving them any ideas, and as Kurt mentioned, the wood from which they make pallets is not dense enough to burn any length of time.

Never been, but I have been to Memphis and tasted some great Q on many occasions. I think it is silly to live in Memphis and go to FL and buy BBQ. About as silly as it would be for me to try to cook Chinese food for a guest coming from China.

The same reason I don't order the grilled grouper at Bosco's in Memphis. 😀
