Regarding wood sources, I have one in Colorado that has an amazing selection of wood chunks. He specializes in chunks and actually sells a lot for competitions. Shipping is free for 10 and 15 pound boxes anywhere in all 50 states. He cuts the wood on order from so it doesn't dry out and stores the logs indoors.
The selection is : peach, apple, cherry, apricot, grape, pear plum, hickory, pecan, almond, maple, mesquite, hickory, red oak, white oak, mountain mahogany and alder. His business is in Fruita, Colorado where there are many fruit orchards and vineyards where wineries supply most of the wood.
I find that pecan and peach are excellent as they are mild and hard to oversmoke unless you really try. I pass out samples to neighbors and coworkers and these to get the best comments.
No, I am not part owner of this business and do not get a commission. I just want to pass an EXCELLENT wood source on to my smokin' buds. I meet the owner when I am in Colorado. He is a down to earth good ol' boy.
