Hey!
I am still trying out different smoke woods, but two things I learned by now: hickory gives you that hardcore smoke flavour, and nothing can beat cherry wood when it comes to that gorgeous mahogany colour it gives the meat.
So, here's my tryout mixing the two woods - those birds came out absolutely great!
4 hours smoking, started on 300F for the first hour, then lowered it down to 240F, and took it off on about 195F internal temperature.
