    Hickory in Orlando area?

    Thanks for the tips guys - didn't think about using oak for the heat and just chunks for flavor, like the idea a lot.  I ended up getting the Klose 20x42 instead of the Lang, so looking forward to firing it up this weekend!  Thanks again all.

    So I have been looking for an offset smoker to give my Egg some company.... Yesterday on Craigslist a guy posted a ~5 year old used 20x42 Klose smoker for $450, with ball valve and charcoal basket upgrades.

    Hickory in Orlando area?

    Does anyone know of a good supplier of hickory for an offset smoker in the central Florida Orlando area? Just got an almost new Lang 36 off Craigslist, picking it up Friday!!  Need to stock up on the split logs now.
