    Different Types Of Smoking Woods You Can Use

    I got some Orange wood, it was okay, it didn't jump out as being much different to cherry other than the lack of colour that cherrywood gives. I still have a couple of chunks so I might try a mix of it on a pork butt I am going to do in the weekend.  I have just ordered some mesquite, not tried...

    Offsets - imports

    Yeah I had some initial issues with one of the doors leaking a little (the other 2 were fine) I used some high temp silicon  - I have seen so many WSM vs Excel threads I found it difficult to choose initially am really happy with the Pro Q though am sure I would have been equally happy with the WSM

    What Do You Use Briquettes or Lumpwood Charcoal?

    Thanks Danny -  That pretty much answers it really, I was initially thinking that perhaps due to the airflow of some of the bigger smokers, that the smoke was harder to get penetration , therefore just using splits etc would be fine throughout, but makes total sense that just using embers from...

    What Do You Use Briquettes or Lumpwood Charcoal?

    I have been using lump wood mainly although briquettes when I can't get lump wood -  Lumpwood seems to need refilling much quicker - but I have noticed briquettes  (using minion method) that I have sometimes had a slightly unpleasant taste when smoking chicken, could have just been the tesco...

    Offsets - imports

    Yo - nice to have a little UK corner in here to help with some of the differences in the USA I recently had a holiday in America and was amazed at the difference in cost and quality (plus general ease of supply) of BBQ's over there. Just strolling down to the local walmart , I found a weber...
