    Walnut -- is it a good wood for smoking?

    Second attempt: now smoking beef

    We had it for dinner. I sliced it thin with an electric knife and served it with pea salad. It was excellent! Thanks to all for the encouragement. :439: Gene

    I am waiting on my wife to get home to eat the chicken...I want to let her try the first along with me. On the cost of the smoker, I was a bidder at the auction and bid $600 to buy it. Of course, the money goes for the kids and materials for their class...I was prepared to bid up to $800 if...
