    Mail Order Wood Chips For My MES40

    24 dollars for 10 pounds seems quite high. I pay 4 bucks for a 10 pound bag at my local nursery for apple and peach chunks.  I would look for some place where it is a by-product and not a main product. You'll find it's a lot cheaper that way.

    Smoking a Londron Broil cut

    Back when I could find decent LB I would grill them over a HOT fire searing the outside and then cooking them indirect till they reach a Med Rare. I would eat like a king and bring the leftovers to the guys at work. They loved it when I cooked red meat.....lol

    Help, first time grilling a pork sirloin roast today...

    You dont even have to soak the wood. That really does nothing for the smoking, just makes it longer as the wood has to dry out. I found that putting the wood chunks right against the charcoal instead of on top , I get a better smoke from them. They seem to smolder slower , when I throw them on...

    Venison ham? Sort of...

    If your going to use TQ as a brine you might want to use their directions on the package for the brine. Secondly, if it was me I would call them or email and ask them about it. 1 cup of TQ to 4 cups water seems like a bunch.. I thought it was closer to 1 cup to a gallon of water.
