Couple questions for you experts out there:
1) I have a buddy that gives me scraps of used bourbon barrels to smoke with.... I don't smoke extensively with these (add a piece or two to apple wood) but I've noticed that it seems to be gunking up the inside of my smoker, especially around the top vent. Anyone else had experience with this?
2) Does meat tend to stick to the grates when you cook? Will oiling the grates down prior to smoking do anything to help this?
3) How the hell do you get a pork butt off the grill w/out it falling apart? A really big spatula?
Much thanks!
