Just bought my first WSM 18.5 and looking forward to entering the world of meat smoking. However, I am not sure about the best spots to purchase BBQ wood/charcoal in the Cleveland area. I plan on starting off with baby back ribs/chicken/pork loin, and then working my way up to beef briskets and so on. I'm also familiar with the Minion Method (YouTube).

Any advice on the ratio of wood or type of wood with charcoal would be tremendous. Even better would be some advice on locations where I can get these fuel sources in the Cleveland area. Much appreciated!

Hello Vosserr and welcome to the group!  Congrats on that new WSM...those are nice rigs!  You've found a great place to learn and share ideas on smoking, grilling, curing, etc.  There are plenty of good people here who really know their stuff and genuinely enjoy helping one another.  Looking forward to your input around here, and just ask when you need anything...someone will surely have the answer.

I am not familiar with your part of the world, but in my neck of the woods, Lowes, Home Depot, and Acadamy Sports are all good places to look for charcoal and wood chunks or chips.  And for lots of great advice and tips on getting the most out of that WSM, browse or post questions over in the Charcoal Smokers Forum:

There are lots of WSM owners here, so there'll be lots of great help.
