Hi everybody,
I'm obviously new here but have been a "newsletter guy" for several years now. i think Jeff's website almost ruined my (short at the time) marriage, but now my wife is involved and on board! she does great things for someone who cant eat what she helps create. that leads me to why I'm here.
i need different ideas om things/ combos to smoke that don't contain protein (what she can not eat) and mostly, i need a good source for the logs or splits to smoke it with. i live in the south suburbs of Chicago (very near NW Indiana) and all i can find is hickory and mesquite logs at bass pro and cabelas.
thanks everyone!!

Forgot, i have been smoking for over 3 years and use a Horizon Smokers 16" offset smoker. i have smoked brisket, steak, a NY strip "roast" ( not sure what to call it, but it was 5# of uncut NY strip), burgers, meatballs (often), pork butt (often), crown roast of pork, pork loin, bacon, ribs (spare and back), chops, turkey, portabella, trout..... thats all i can think of right now, but the only epic fail (in my opinion) was the fish (too dry. only tried once) and the portabella (too smokey, wrong wood.). i have never had complaints about anything else (and i beg for constructive criticism).
