Why take the chance with trees treated with pesticides? They may say the spray is not harmful, but they also said cigarette smoking was not harmful.

I agree with Jeff. Pork butt is the way to go. First time using the WSM you may have trouble controlling temps. Butts are very forgiving. After my first cook I was able to control temps and moved on to ribs and turkey. Good luck.

I have used them both. Both perform well. I buy whichever is cheaper. Royal Oak is usually cheaper where I live. I find that you will get a longer burn time from charcoal compared to the lump I use. Therefore, I use charcoal for over night cooks. For shorter cooks, I use Hump lump.

Putting flour on wings? Not in my house!

I am with you Bill. Buffalo Wings must be fried, at least initially. Wings "from the pit" are my favorite. Also, wings are dipped in bleu cheese dressing. I have been to other parts of the country where they are served with ranch dressing . Also if anyone is in the WNY area, you should stop by...

Kevin, What is the difference between the sirloin roasts that you mentioned? How will I be able to tell whether I am actually getting a tri-tip as opposed to say a sirloin tip? Being a relative newbie, I took my butcher at his word. He seemed quite confident in his answer, but I now have my...

I would be a little concerned that the trees may have been sprayed with pesticides. Being a telephone repairman, I always keep an eye out for fruit trees when working in someones backyard. With permission, I will usually snip a branch or two. I always have a supply of apple, cherry, and pear...

I asked my local butcher why they do not sell tri tip on the east coast and he chuckled at the question. Butchering a cow on the east coast yields the same cuts of meat as a cow on the west coast is what he told me. Tri-tip is called sirloin roast in WNY.

When I go commercial, Dinosaur BBQ sauce. I usually make my own sauce.

Looks amazing. I have also cooked pork loins on the WSM with fantastic results.

Thanks Dave. I will check it out. I think I paid $10.50 for the lump at Adventures In Heat on Main St.

I recently purchased my first bag of hump lump. I found it to be a very good product. It is difficult to find good lump in the Buffalo area. I have used Cowboy before and I was not crazy about it.

I am doing a small butt. Nothing fancy.

I too would buy a bge at this price without hesitation. I had it narrowed down to the bge and the wsm before finally purchasing the wsm. Price was a huge factor when deciding which to purchase. However, I do not feel that I settled for the wsm as I am quite pleased with it.

Thank-you both Paul and Kevin. I will check these sites out.

Thanks Paul. Have you purchased from any of these companies? Do you have a favorite?

I am looking to purchase fresh spices on-line and am seeking advice as to the best site. I have always used spices bought at the grocery store with good results. However, I purchased a rib rub at a local bbq shop and was blown away by the taste. This rub made the best ribs I have ever cooked...

I think I would build my next smoker also.

But did they break into your smoker ?

That is what I am hoping. I am also hoping to be eating by kickoff of the Bills-Pats game. And while I am hoping, I hope the Bills crush the Pats in Boston. It never hurts to hope...
