    Wood sellers with decent shipping charges?

    Try www.mainegrillingwoods.com. Free shipping. Never ordered from them but my buddy did and he's happy! He got a three pack of chunks (black cherry, apple and sugar maple I think) for $27.00. HAven't seen the bags so I don't know how big they are but like I said he is very happy with it.

    Last pulled pork smoke

    What is the purpose of scoring the butt like that? I've noticed it on some of the Q-views. Is it done when the fat is very thick instead of just trimming it down or does it help the fat to melt into the butt better? I'm doing an 8 pounder on Saturday and maybe I'll try it.

    Anyone smoke with Ash

    I have a bunch of ash trees in my yard and was wondering if I could smoke with it? I haven't read any mention of ash on this site. I know it burns pretty hot because I use it in my fire pit. I know nothing about trees so I up until yesterday I had no idea what kind of trees I had. So once I...

    Best place to monitor temp.?

    Thanks for the advice. I did decide to monitor right at the level of each rack. Forgot to take pictures though. I'll try to remember to take some after work. Thanks again.

    Best place to monitor temp.?

    I was wondering where is the best place to monitor the temp. inside my ECB. I have done the mods and currently just stick a thermocouple down through one of the holes I drilled for my top vent. I stick it down in approx. 4-5 inches so it ends up just above whatever I am smoking. For example...

    Goodbye Kingsford

    Used Comboy lump for my first 2 smokes and then just yesterday in the middle of smoking an 8 lb. butt I realized I was running out so I sent the wife to Giant Eagle and she got a bag of Kingsford lump. What a difference! The Kingsford was so much better than the Cowboy brand. I've read some...

    How long to brine whole chickens?

    Well, I brined the first time I did chickens and it was really good. Of course, since it was my very first time smoking I don't know if it was the brine or the rub or the temp. or the time or the wood chips or the charcoal or all of the above or..... All I know is that everyone really liked...

    First Smoke in a Thunderstorm

    Well, yesterday I smoked 2 whole chickens in my newly modified ECB. By the way, it was my first ever smoke and the results were very good. Even though as soon as I threw the chickens on and got the temp. stable I was hit with what felt like hurricane force winds (ok slight exageration!) and...
