    hey guys

    I personally tend to lean toward a 50/50 mixture (or equivalent) when using multiple woods. I use them simultaneously. One thing also to consider is how you want to use your woods.

    Hello my name is Greg. I live in South Central Tennessee, USA. This will be my first use of a smoke house. I have been smoking using a grill or campfire for years. I tend to try to stick with cooking on or with wood. I recently acquired a 4' x 4' x 8' wooden wood shed that i converted by...
