As soon as this is done, (205*F or so) I'll be throwing some brownsugar covered bacon on, for dessert!

When the picture was taken, it had been on for 24hrs.

smoking meat is fun. Its even more fun with all the different kinds of wood chips to make the meat all kinds of awesome flavors.

I just use mesquite, oak, and hickory. I like the oak from Jack Daniels barrels, available at Wal*Mart. And hickory, mesquite is too strong.

I'd love to get a hold of some apple, cherry, or orange. I've heard pretty much any fruit tree will make good smoke.

What kind do you like?

I use a lot of apple, cherry, mesquite, maple, lilac, but mostly apple. Partly since its my favorite and partly since there are a ton of orchards nearby so its pretty much free.

Do apple trees lose branches easily? We have a few big apple farms just south of here...

Can you use fallen wood (from ice storms), or should it be cut down?

Any idea what variety's of apple make the best smoking wood?

You can use anything that has been dried right, I remove the bark so I prefer to cut down a tree and use the bigger logs. Bigger pieces work better in the egg style smokers as well since you can load them once and be set for 10-12 hours at a constant temp.

edit: I should add that by egg, I meant the Big Green Egg, Viking C4, or any other Komodo style ceramic smoker.

Your moms an egg.

I've heard the BGE or (Big Green Egg) is a bomb smoker.

I just use a little electric smoker, but I think it turns out ok...no complaints so far

[///M5 2,833]

I've got a C4 and love it. Pretty much had every other option first, but there really is something special about real q.

Nice!

I also like to rub brown sugar on bacon and smoke that for about two hours.

Makes dessert!
