    Pecan and wood seasoning

    Would you look at that. I just loaded my truck to the max with pecan wood for 40 bucks! My question is how good is pecan for smoking? What cuts do you smoke with it? And how long does it take for wood to become seasoned? Thank you kindly. I'm still learning.

    Inconsistent meat smoking

I started the smoker at 140 for 1 hour, then 160 for an hour. Then went to 180 for the duration which...
