i use to do all my smoking and grilling on oak wood..use to buy a whole gaRAGE WALL OF SOLID GOOD OAK..the most woinderfull thing about oak is that it burns steady at 450 degrees..can get hotter in the coal area..but all my old time smokes were done with a weber 21 inch kettle grill....as a fabracater i made a plate with doors to fit over the fire area..where i would chop up my oak and place it into the fire box..then close the door..just open the vents enough at the bottom and off you go..my problem now is finding good oak for my smoker..sure i go to the market and can buy old #7 jack dans for 5 buck a bag lol.. but im tired of ordering everything online..is there any place close to traverse city i can buy good oak.. thanks for the help mike
