    buying wood chips

    I know you said you've looked online, but take a peek at www.samssmoker.com. Prices are reasonable, lots of variety & I think shipping isn't too bad.

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    Before "pulling the plug", I would thoroughly investigate the various types of smokers that are available, as each has its own separate advantages. AmazingRibs.com is a pretty good source. I went with the #2 unit & it has been big enough for me ( I don't smoke a huge amount of food at one...

    I've used Sam's Smokers on the net if you like wood chips - great product, burns "sweet". Also used "Classic Country Farms" on ebay for wood chunks (they are cut in discs, so they fit nicely in the wood box. The Maverick is a great idea also. Seems like you are pretty well set. Good smokin!!!

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I recently purchased the "Smokin-it' #2 ( I also have a Landmann propane unit. The Smokin-it is very well made, well insulated, lots of smoke with relatively little wood - does seem to take a bit longer than the propane unit. So far, I've smoked ribs twice on the unit & I have a couple issues...
