cherry wood

Hey folks, So my friend Dan arrived with a load of wood yesterday. I was expecting a truck bed. But when he arrived he had his bed full and a 12' trailer in tow full of wood as well. We got it all unloaded and he was on his way. So today it was 7 hours on splitting and stacking. I didn't quite...

The northeast may not be BBQ mecca, but there are some bbq-related perks to living here. Like when a cherry tree falls on your neighbor's property: Does anyone know - is black cherry easier to split when it's green or after it's seasoned? I made the mistake of letting the logs from a white...

Haven't done this one in a while, but is still my favorite smoker result. I didn't do a full spread of pictures, but here is the one shot I took: I did a pretty generic dry rub that I think I found in the first 5 results of googling for "smoked Pork belly dry rub". I smoked it with...

I've been barbecuing at home for about 9 years now. Mainly stuck to pork shoulders, occasionally smoking a whole chicken or two. I love ribs, and I've got a free weekend, so I figured what the heck I'll give ribs a shot. In doing some reading, I've seen some suggestions that recommend smoking...

This past weekend, I smoked a whole lamb roast for Fans of Lamb's Grills Gone Wild American Lamb competition. I've been smoking pork, brisket, fish, and chicken for years, but this was my first lamb. It was hands down the most amazing tasting cook I've ever done. Too good not to share. The...

I want to try making pastrami pretty soon. So right now I'm looking at brisket, a dry cure, then smoking. I know that corned beef is often done with a brine, but I prefer to use a dry cure if possible. However I'd like to end up with those nice thin slices you see piled up in photos of deli...

Fired up the offset for my first extended cook with it. I've done a 4.5 hour Turkey smoke but nothing longer than that. Fired it up around 0-dark-thirty with a bit of unlit K, followed by a lit chimney of K and two cherry splits. Been aiming for hot and fast this time so trying to keep temps...

Hey real quick I am throwing on 4 racks of ribs on the smoker for the game Sunday at 1pm. I was wondering if anyone has ever done a marinade for ribs. Even if it's as simple as letting them sit in a good bbq sauce for a few days... I want to mix up some tastes and I'm not really into any of...

I come you with questions once again Brethren! I am 23 and still finding my notch sort-a-speak. My Uncle asked if I wanted to take over the Turkey for Thanksgiving this year. Of course I said YES. However, I've never smoked one before and I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I...

What are the good points and any bad points for the use of any of these fruit wood in smokers or cooking with them. I have cherry wood, peach, pear and plum, From removing the trees from my parents back yard a number of years ago. Was wondering since the original use for it is no longer needed...
