Food looks great. Did you use any wood on that cook? I've been trying to find some pimento wood.

I used a couple of hickory chunks. I do have a pimento tree in the back but it is going to be a few years before I can start getting some wood from it.

There is a guy on Facebook who spams every BBQ group or page advertising pimento wood. I'm not sure if this is the same place or not...

Looks great! Love the crust on the chicken, looks like very good flavour. Love the real Jamaican sides, too. Our family (dad's side) doesn't make festival so I had to learn about it at a roadside jerk pit last time I was on the island (1998 ). My late father always said gungo peas, finally found out recently they are the same thing as congo peas, now I know how to buy them in the store. :laugh: My dad would have loved to sit at your table for that dinner. :thumb:

I saw this one before. I think it's legit but it is VERY EXPENSIVE :shock:. $11 a pound for chunks and $57 for 5 pounds of chips. This is not in my budget :doh:

Stingerhook, do you or your bride know the English names for custard apple, star apple and naseberries? And there was this other fruit, I think the kids called it South Sea apple or sousy apple, it's the shape of a pear, little bit bigger, bright red thin skin, stark white flesh that could have red veins. Not sure now about the red veins, though, I was 11 when I ate them on that visit. There was a large round pit in the centre, I don't think the flesh was attached to the pit. The trees grow quite tall and wide, I remember granny or dad saying the cows would snack on them in the afternoon when they were thirsty. It's crisp and thirst-quenching like an apple.

Good looking Jerk Chicken! I made jerk chicken this week too. Mine was not hot enough, but the flavor was great. 36 hour marinade, one hour smoking, then grilled. The street where I live is actually lined with allspice trees. When the City and County come by to trim them I just ask for the wood. I also get a lot of guava wood.

I bought my allspice chips from pimentowood.com. It's legit.
While a little pricey, it's the real deal and no other wood flavors like it does for jerk.

To the op, food looks farkin great! Thanks for sharing the recipes- very interested in the festival!

That website is slowly looking familiar as the name is starting to, too. Dang, could I really have found it and forgot? :doh: I'm scared to check my computer bookmarks….

Thanks for helping me out brother, I appreciate it. :becky:

great looking food, mon !

can I ask.........how did you get so much volume from those ingredients? Did you double it..............or were the onions and scallions enough ?

It gave me about a cup and a half of finished after blending, and I used all of it.
