    Black Cherry Sap Question

    I will certainly let everyone know once I have seasoned and tried smoking with this last load of wood. I'll get a few pieces split up into chunks this week so spring should be a realistic time frame. Will be testing using chunks in my WSM.

    New Smoker From Wisconsin

    Thank you all for the Welcome! pgareau, it is so wonderful to see someone so close to home on these forums. Baja, San Diego is a terrific place. I have visited there and over some of these cold winters have considered moving to all that sunshine!
