If you ever out and about wondering about what species of trees are in a stand of timber for a good smoking or fireplace wood or just curious what the heck kind of tree that is. Download Virginia Tech Tree ID app. Its a wonderful wealth of free info to help ID a tree in your region by leaf, bark,nut, cone, branch and bud. Helpful for winter ID and very good pictures. It does use some space on your phone but you can download just a region per geographical coordinates or zip code.
I use this now instead of my old in taters Arborist dendrology ID flash cards. Land surveyors have to often locate trees and id them on a site. Particularly to ID pay trees and any tree 6 inches in diameter or larger as many cities require a percentage to be replaced on a new construction site. |

What do you recommend for ground hog? I used red oak and apple.
Almond – one of my favorites. Sweet, smokey, and a little nutty. Almond wood works with anything you can imagine. It would probably even make roadkill (Tennessee Pizza) taste good…. On long smokes( Butts brisket, chuck roll) in cold weather, I used to use some well seasoned locust as a heat source with lots of apple wood. Last edited by cooper barrett; 04-09-2019 at 12:35 PM.. |

Yeah its popular now to purchase retired whiskey barrels to smoke meat with. I have not had any real interest especially how expensive the barrel would be. Maybe a bourbon marinade or soak chips in a bourbon solution.

Planning to put a brisket on the Rec Tec Friday night. Deciding whether a Dalmatian rub or something else.

I dont have a Rec Tec pellet grill its a cadillac in relationship to my Camp Chef entry level pellet. I have never felt bold enough to give a brisket a go in it just to many hot and cold spots. Every time I thought to I say next time and go with the WSM.
I know another poster posted a while back on his new Rec Tec perhaps he has done one in it. I cant remember who now of whether it was here of what's for dinner thread. Im a creature of habit I just cant move away from the dalmation it never fails me. |

I've recently purchased a couple of new cookers. I already had a Yoder Wichita offset stick burner which is a pretty sizeable investment so I thought I'd go cheaper with the new ones. I bought a OK Joes Vertical Drum Smoker and also a Dyna Glo Vertical Offset Smoker. It gives me the ability to cook a lot of meat at once and also different meats with different temps or woods at the same time. I wanted to be able to cook a competition. I've never competed at BBQ but I'm thinking about it. There's nothing I enjoy more than firing up the smoker and cooking some quality Q.

Also you would be surprised what smoking woods may be available in a woodlot near your home.

https://www.google.com/maps/place/E+...!4d-94.4292081 The wood place was just north of there, just past, and across the street, of the old KCIR, **** you Claire If you didn't know they were there, you would never find it. |
