    Char Griller Pellet Smokers

    Try going to Aces Hardware if you have one. They usually carry other woods like cherry, apple and mesquite as well as hickory. They come in 20lb bags and cost about $20. They even will special order it as they did for me when they didn't have the cherry and apple on hand.

    The Minion Method Explained w/ Tutorial

    When you mention the unlit charcoal on the non-food side, do you mean on the right hand side? How many charcoals, lit and unlit, did you use for about 3 hours of cooking?
