I just made the switch this year myself. Between doing 15 racks of ribs for my wife's birthday to a couple competitions now, I can tell you, wood is cheaper. A lot cheaper if you were using Royal Oak or another lump charcoal. We went thru 10 bags of charcoal just for one competition. For the same money I bought a little less then half a cord of cherry wood and cooked the above mentioned plus all my other weekend cooks and still have a few weeks of cooks left.
I bought mine here. Expensive as f$%k, but it was the only place I could get my hands on cherry before my wife's bday. They hooked it up in person, I got probably close to double what they say they give you, so it softened the blow a little bit, but it was still expensive (still cheaper than charcoal).

Thinking about grabbing some from these guys next. I talked to them on Facebook and they told me their wood is 90% oak.

This person is in Perth Amboy/Hopelawn. Was thinking of trying this as he's close to where I live. Army vet, too.
