    Anyone use orange tree wood?

    I have used Orange wood with chicken and I think it's great. Sometimes with a more delicate meat a more subtle smoke is better. I just decided that I am going to use it for my Thanksgiving turkey this year. I'm getting mine from BBQ'ers Delight. Burn it in my AMZNPS. Not too expensive that way...

    Whole Fryers: Experiment with Pecan or Maple

    So what happened to all the chicken? Life is funny. Here I was running this experiment to compare Maple and Pecan and wound up going with Orange. Not only that I had four smoked chickens! My wife, Chef Ali, decided to make chili for her company's Halloween party. She bought some ground turkey...

    Whole Fryers: Experiment with Pecan or Maple

    Cappy: First of all I applaud you on your discipline. If you really want to know the effect of one element (e.g. wood choice) you have to vary ONE element only. And take notes. Unfortunately, I don't get to smoke enough, so I get all excited and try a BUNCH of things at once. Interesting...

    Whole Fryers: Experiment with Pecan or Maple

    Danny: Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Keep that English lass who will put up with Mesquite! For Turkey, I think my wood taste may travel from Dallas to Florida and I will use Orange wood. (Plus a hickory or oak starter in my AMZNPS, as I just can't seem to get fruitwoods to start well on...

    Whole Fryers: Experiment with Pecan or Maple

    I do not plan on brining it as it already has been injected with 8% sodium solution. I got it at Restaurant Depot for $1.28/lbs. 13 pound bird. When I am not on my value kick, I may spring for a fresh "natural" bird and then brine that. I will inject it. I've got some Cajun Injector Turkey...

    Whole Fryers: Experiment with Pecan or Maple

    Kroger had whole fryers on sale for $.96 a pound. At this writing this is 10/25/13. Seemed like a good chance to experiment with a few different types of wood before I tried my pre-Thanksgiving smoke/trial. Chicken was cheap. Whole birds was easy. You know the basis on the scientific method is...
