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 much" fruitwood when smoking with charcoal? I was always told that too many chunks would mess up the taste, how is it that whole splits for a whole cook make it okay? Is it because charcoal puts off so much smoke flavor on it's own?
2. When you are cooking a mass of food (for friends or even in a competition), how do you pick which wood to use?
Part of the reason I bought the 60 was so I would have enough surface area to cook the four meats in competition. Previously, I just did cherry and pecan on my ribs and chicken. Do you just use hickory or oak, something that works with everything? Or does anyone mix it up.
3. Any tips on making the jump from charcoal to wood?
Thanks for all the the thoughts and advice!!!
