    Wood and Pellet Question

    For those who use a pellet smoker as I do, do you use a specific brand based upon the type of meat you are smoking? Are Lumberjack pellets and Bear Mountain pellets made by the same company? Which is your go-to pellet brand?

    Cost of 1/2 cord 250 too much for oak and cherry?

    I live in NJ. Looking to get some wood to store while my cooker is being built. I had a resource quoting me for a half cord of about 75 splits of oak and 75 splits of cherry for 250. Should I try to look else where or do you think this would be a fair price?

    excessive tar like substance

    I am running 6 to 8mo old hickory splits in a 2018 CTO. I get excessive amounts of a liquid tar like substance that cools and coats everything, even locking down the fire box door. It has to be the wood and I am going to change to oak. Any suggestions? Anyone deal with this much from a species?

    Let's talk wood.....

    And not in the high school sense. ;) This weekend I became the proud owner of a Lang 60D, upgrading over my WSM. I'm psyched. I was wondering about everyone's thought's about graduating from charcoal and chunks to wood: 1. This is the newbie in me asking - how is it that I could use "too...

    For anyone curious how to prep and run your offset smoker using strait wood

    https://youtu.be/xWNrHVJXXVU I like oak. I have lots of oak laying around. I burn it in the winter in my wood stove to heat my house. Sometimes I’ll add apple or pecan or peach to the mix but that’s usually just chunks that come from Walmart or the hardware store. Oak that has been cured...

    Changing of the Wood!!!

    I have what may be a dumb question, but I'd like to know what others have experienced - I am cooking on an assassin, but I only use Hickory chunks for flavor - I seasoned the smoker with Hickory, and have cooked only with Hickory since I got the smoker about a year ago - When I get done with the...

    First smoker in transit!!! Stick Size question?

    After several summers of 'meh' outdoor cooking and after seeing the sad imitation models of real offsets at Home Depot I'm stoked to say my Yoder Cheyenne will arrive next Tuesday. I'm planning on starting off with a 4 hour seasoning with peanut oil, and then trying out some Memphis style spare...
