    what is the preferred wood for smoking pastrami

    For wood you want something mild. While the smoke flavor is going to add to the quality of the pastrami, you do not want to over power the flavor with a strong wood like hickory or mesquite. A popular wood to use when making pastrami is maple. I also use woods like apple, cherry, or grape...

    Can i cut meat off my pork butt to cut the time because i dont feel like waking up at 5 to put on a

    The easy answer is yes, but you would also be cutting off the meat that has been seasoned with rub (assuming it has). How about cutting the butt in half and add rub to cut surface. Two 4.5 lb butts will cook in less time ( not half so I'm told) than a 9 lb er.

    First Pizza Cook on Grill

    Being that pizza ovens run 600 to 900 deg, i wonder if it might be better to assemble the pizza from cheese, meat, and veggies flavored in the smoker and then cooked over the gas grill. Each cooker does what it's best at.

    water pan

    Most use sand to even out temperature fluctuations. Probably a lot more important in a WSM than a MES.   WSM's run at higher temps and a bowl of water will create excessive moisture.

    Bulding a Cardboard Box Cold Smoker

    Excellent design and execution.  Just keep an eye on the pellet smoker. Too much air flow and it might catch fire.  Check out search bar for mail box mod.  Safer is better.

    mixed emotions...

    That's why I ordered two Thermapens at the same time. I was sure as soon as the wife used mine it would become "Head cook's property" and I would need the second one for myself.

    Easy way to 'chip' your own wood from chunks??

    I use a firewood sawbuck and a couple of quick bar clamps to hold the wood. Then slice the wood into 3 to 4 inch thick rounds. Those can be further split with a hand ax.  Always      Safety First. http://www.wikihow.com/Build-a-Sawbuck-for-Cutting-Firewood
