hey fella's, thanks for all the posts. Here is the consensus thus far:
First, this is NOT a hedge
Most folks think it is a red elm or some such

I will look around for similar trees
I tried the old fashioned barbecue type and to be honest, they tasted the exact same as their old fashioned beans. For a higher cost, I think these are a rip.
Hmmm. Don't think it is hedge. Most Hedge trees that I have seen have a trunk that kind of splits into two or more trunks. This one had a massive trunk...4 feet in diameter and was 50+ feet tall. Unfortunatly, they took it before the leaves started so I cannot see one of those. But, I did not...

For fatties and meatloaf, I use the below:

I agree, times are only estimates and should be used sparingly and only for planning purposes. For a good PM, I would say smoke until it reaches 140 degrees F, regardless of time.
