Needed Rain- Diamond Willow- Pork Belly

We finally get a good amount of much needed rain here in Alberta. It is cold but I don't mind at all, as long as the rain keeps up. I head out a couple of miles from town in search of some diamond willow. I have to carry out what I harvest so I can't take much. When I get home I immediately peel off the bark and light up the clay oven. I have a big slab of pork belly that was given to us by my wife's uncle. I bake it in the clay oven for an hour then use the leftover charcoal to smoke the pork belly. The pork fat dripping on the hot coals eventually caught on fire but I managed to save the meat which was extra crispy.

Wonderbar! I have a few acres of just diamond willow beside the fifth wheeler. You inspired me to go find some!! The ones here are massive, bout 3 times thicker trunks. ❤
Okay update.....my trees seem too big and yes they have the diamond grooves but it only has one per trunk...
