The first 2 I pulled, most likely will pull these too. They were great by itself or with bbq sauce....

I was gonna ask if it was raining, looked like the ground was all wet.
Chuckies are looking great! Such a wonderful cut of meat, shame they are so expensive around here.

I'm also curious as to what "onion wood" is...

Looks nice and juicy. Great post and nice qview!

for finding and using that ever illusive onion tree wood. Those things are harder to find than the first morel mushroom of the season.

I use a Traeger smoker and it is fueled by wood pellets. The pellets are made from natural woods like cherry, maple, hickory, apple and so on.
The onion and garlic pellets are made using Alder wood and onion or garlic oils added. They smoke just like regular wood and the flavor is awesome!!!
Traeger has a new pellet out now called "grape vine" which gives a sweet flavored smoke like cherry does. You can also mix the wood pellets to get a variety of diferrent flavors. These smokers are really versatile. I hope this answered your question.
