Can't beat it for quick cookin' for the slower with smoke ring stuff you still have to go traditional...

I loved smoked meats. My brother cooks a lot that way. We found the same thing. Sometimes the smoke flavor is overpowering. So, we start off with Oak or something with less pungent smell and then add hickory or other woods later.

I think I'll have to do further testing this summer

Every time I look at chicken wings I go into shock at the price... still I bought some for a cook hopefully this weekend, need to do some ribs also.

 

[dfergie]

Have 4lbs package of Chicken Wings covered with rub with a dash of Apple Juice / Apple Cider for a cook this afternoon or tomorrow, would have cooked some ribs also but didn't find a rack I liked...

The Plan

4lbs Chicken wings with rub
4 split Breasts with rub & breaded with buttermilk pancake mix

Water & liquid from wings in drip pan
Ignition 12:45 pm 72 °F
