Greetings all!
That big ole box under the Christmas tree was not a WSM afterall. It was <shudder> a Char-Broil water smoker. It was promptly returned and I ordered a WSM from Ma's Smokin' Chips, along with a chimney. Both arrived Monday - thanks, Steve!!! - in great condition with nary a scratch.
Wife has family coming in for the weekend and she wants me to play with my new toy. Like I'm going to complain...! Anyway, she wants me to cook a turkey breast and a rack or two of ribs. Both should take four or five hours - perhaps less. I want this to be a great start, leaving the experimenting for immediate family, so I'm asking the veterans to comment on smoke wood selection for this. Seems to me, the ribs would do great with Hickory or Oak or both, and the turkey with something sweeter - apple or cherry. Comments?
Thanks!
Alan
