    Has anyone here used pear wood, specifically Asian pear for smoking? I have an Asian Pear tree that Im thinking about cutting down this winter and it will provide many years of smoking wood.

    Greetings all,    I'm smoking my first Pork butts this weekend for a party Sat. night. I picked up a 2 pack at Costco for a good price and am going to try my hand at it. These are boneless butts, and most of the threads I have read recommend bone-in. I have already trimmed off the excess fat...

    I smoked my first 2 fatties a couple of weeks ago and they were great! But Im going to Physical therapy now to recover from a surgery. After describing them to the therapist, he's intrigued, but is giving me crap in a ribbing way about the amount of fat in them. I tried to explain that most of...
