Thanks for all the replies-good stuff!

I have a wild cherry tree that is going to have to be cut down so I am going to chunk up some pieces for smoke wood. What kind of meat works best with cherry? Also, as a more general question, would this be good wood to use for several years or does it have a "shelf life" where it should be...

Elliot: Get back with me in July with some home grown tomatoes and some sweet corn and I'll fix you up with the meat

Haven't cooked any ribs yet or brisket with ribs. Going to cook the brisket low and slow; maybe 11 hours for a 9-10 lb. packer. Sounds like I am going to need more than 3 hours on the ribs if I am cooking at 225.

Thinking about cooking up a brisket with Minion and throwing 2 or 3 slabs of ribs on about 3 hours before the brisket is ready to eat. Any potential problems doing this? Also want to make a batch of ABT's; can I just cook those on the the top grate and, if so, should I put some foil underneath...
