Thank you sir. I think I'm gonna agree with that.
I had made some nice splits of apple, so I reckon, I'll work on some post oak.
The Okie Joe seems to like them just so size...I'm learnin'.
Thanks, Mike---well a funny thing just happened. Max the setter and I just drove over to see the local rancher meat guy and picked out some Beef short ribs. LOL--so gonna smoke those today instead of the pork.
Does this mean some Texas post oak instead?
