    Really late answering these questions, sorry about that. For the tenderloin I just used charcoal, the wife didn't want the smoke that time. Temp was 325°-350°, give or take. The chicken was started with charcoal and finished with red maple splits. Cooking with the splits keeps the temp pretty...

    Please Itentify This Maple Leaf

    Based on the bark that I see in your pic I'd guess red maple. My favorite cooking wood.

    Fresh Oak

    Minnesota's climate is similar to Maine's so you can expect the oak fire wood to take 2 years to season enough to burn in a wood stove.If you cut your chunks 2" thick by 3" long and dry them in out of the weather 4-6 months will be sufficient for smoke wood.

    Beef Ribs in 10 pics

    I used red maple splits and lump charcoal for fuel. I paid $4.50/lb at BJs Wholesale Club.

    Please Itentify This Maple Leaf

    I don't because I have a ready supply of red maples in my yard. But you certainly can use silver maple for BBQ. Sound to me like your sunset maples are red maples. BTW this is the site I use for tree ID, excellent info and lots of pictures-...

    Please Itentify This Maple Leaf

    I can confirm that what you have is silver maple. The tree ID site that I use confirms that there are silver maples in Cali. Lots of them where I am in Maine, especially near rivers and streams, they are called water maple in some parts of the country.

    Cold Weather Smoking

    Don't use a water pan and don't cook at temps less than 250°, I prefer 300° because it limits your time outside and the meat will be done more quickly. Either way you will use more fuel cooking in cold weather, so be prepared for that too.

    When do you buy your wood?

    Hickory is generally unavailable as a cooking wood unless you buy bags of chunks from the hardware store or WalMart. How much do you think you will need?  FYI the northern red oak up here takes about 3 years to season properly for BBQ use. I prefer to use red maple for chunks in the Weber or...
