    White oak

    Thank you very much for the detailed response! You have put my mind at ease. I was thinking it would basically be the same but it is nice to have feedback from an educated source!

    White oak

    Does anyone know how post oak compares to white oak? I am a huge fan and supporter of post oak for brisket after visiting Texas but find it extremely difficult to get it here in Iowa. It is $96 to have 50lbs shipped. I believe white and red oak are rather plentiful in Iowa. So has anyone had...

    Iowa Woods

    I checked firewood awhile back. I guess I just assumed firewood and smoking wood were different

    Iowa Woods

    Thanks for the answers. I have checked locally and have checked Craigslist. There just isn't a huge market for smoking wood in the area I live.

    Iowa Woods

    So I have been doing to Aaron Franklin method of smoking for a bit now and I am very pleased with the results. However, I am not pleased with the cost of getting a 50lb box of post oak wood shipped. It is $96. In Texas, where the wood is plentiful, it is obviously cheaper. I have two questions...

    Oak Wood Salmon?

    I have some salmon I want to smoke. I have post oak wood from Texas, and I have some pellets that are a apple/hickory mix. Which would be better to smoke salmon with? I have read fruit woods are best but apple mixed with hickory sounds iffy. I hear hickory is too strong for fish. I have also...

    Wrangler Maintenance

    Got a few question regarding my Wrangler. Hopefully you experts have some answers for me :) I bought an Old Country Wrangler about a year ago. It shipped with one of the hinges on the door snapped off. I will post a pic. I typically just rest the door behind the snapped part if that makes sense...

    Sunday Brisket

    I would like to smoke a brisket for the super bowl this Sunday. Problem is, I don't have the time to smoke an entire packer. If I were to choose a side, would point or flat be better to smoke and would the mechanics change from smoking a packer? I planned on using butcher paper to wrap halfway...

    Old Country BBQ Pits Wrangler Smoker Review

    Currently doing a brisket. Couldn't get the temps up so it was hovering around 180-200 for 2 hours. Rotated the smoker to let some wind in and now it's where it needs to be. Will those first two hours of low temps ruin the final product?

    Prosciutto attempt #1

    Just thought I'd ask. I intend to educate myself on how to process meats. I just didn't know if there were some quick tips to get me started.
