    cutting big butts in two

    Different flavors of wood hard to find

    I have been reading about all the different wood you all use in your smoking and so far all I can find is hickory, mesquite and just recently apple (these are all chips).  I did find once a bag of hickory chunks, never apple, alder or just plain oak.  What's a girl to do to get some of the smoke...
