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 ribs and Jamaican Jerked Chicken. I'll get to the butts and brisket once I can get the temps under control tightly.
In San Diego we don't have a ton of options for quality wood. One of the more reputed places, Olson firewood (family owned for years), offers two types of wood, 6-8 inch 'splits' or the whole logs for you to split. Same price but it seems like the 'splits' are too small for a proper offset like the Yoder Cheyenne. I'm thinking it's worth it to split it myself, lord knows I'll have plenty of time on my hands waiting for the meat to smoke.
Hickory is 45 bucks for 40 lbs....Oak, Cherry, Apple, and Walnut are 40 buck for 40, that's not too bad for San Diego is it? (mostly cactus grows here).
Appreciate any input on the size of the sticks I should burn.
