    sweetest wood?

    Pecan is a close second to Apple. I change it up and use one or the other for my chickens. I don't know about willow for smoking. I read about using saltine crackers to sample the flavor of smoke. Just pit some in and try them in 15 - 30 min. No need to waste good food to find out. You could...

    sweetest wood?

    I used peach and it's good. I think I've settled on apple as my favorite for chicken. :yahoo: If you have never tried peach do it. It's good stuff. Not sure how it compares to alder. Alder is different and don't have the sweet flavor that the fruit woods do. I like it though. Kris

    looking to buy a new wireless therm system.

    found more options. Stoker makes a wifi therm system that also can control pit temps. Also bbg guru. The one thing I am mot sure of is if internet service is required. I really don't need to be able to go to town while running my smoker right now. I just like the idea of useing a system to...

    looking to buy a new wireless therm system.

    Manzwood, No I have not. I'm thinking it will now be another month since I'm looking to spend double what I originally thought I would. If steelhead fishing gets good next month it might be longer because I'll be spending my play money chasing them. I'm a patient person when I find something...

    looking to buy a new wireless therm system.

    Noboundaries I'm sorry. :biggrin: The more I look at that system the more I think I'm going to buy it. I figure by the time I buy multiple Maverick units for smoking several large pieces I might as well just go with the Tappacue. My long term goal is to build a large commercial grade kitchen...

    looking to buy a new wireless therm system.

    I'm planning on buying the system later this week. I see lots of people like the maveric products. What other brands should I be looking at? Would probably say around $100.0 or less. I like the idea of multiple probes and would like more than 2 if possible. :biggrin: I've looked at the igrill...
