lately, i've been thinking about burning wood in my ECB rather than charcoal.
we have a lot of cottonwood up here, which makes a decent bed of coals, but it burns fast and i am not sure what the value is of the smoke produced. another alternative is to buy the larger chunks of hickory at whatever-mart, light them, burn them down to coals and use them for cooking and smoking.
any reason not to try this? has anyone tried it? how were results?
thanks in advance for all replies -
