    Williams-Sonoma has rub pack on sale.

    Seems really pricey to me.  You get 4 tins of rubs, each tin is 1.5oz. of rub.  That means you get 6oz. in total for $16.99.  If that's multiplied out it's over $45.00 per pound!     Really expensive when you can buy rubs for less than $5.00/lb. and make them for about $3.00/lb.   Nice tins...

    Bush pig

    A Newbie with a couple ?

    The cherry wood should be set aside for 4 months or so to let it dry before smoking.  I have read of some using freshly cut wood but I think the general rule is 4 months minimum. As for the beef ribs, there are several posts on the forum, here's...

    New Garden in Houston, TX

    Wings Not Crispy Enough

    My experience is for chicken of any kind you need higher temps to get the skin crispy.  Lower temps like you had can result in skin that is too rubbery.  Another option I've seen is to crisp up the skin under the oven broiler or on the grill before serving. Good luck, Curt. And the ribs do...
