Well I've been lurking here for a couple of months and finally decided to join in. First of all, let me say this is one of the best places on the web to find info on BBQing. I learned quite a lot from the resouces section and reading the various posts, and everyone is very friendly and helpful. I'm using a brinkmann gourmet smoker I won at a raffle. I've done about 10 pork butts, some baby backs, a couple of turkeys and a brisket since I got it and I'm definitely hooked on smoking. I went out and bought an ET-73, a couple of rib racks and I just received my order of rub and gloves from texasbbq. Of course my wife thinks I'm nuts and she thought the smoker would end like my bread machine, collecting dust in the garage. But she has been so impressed by the food, especially pulled pork, that I finally convinced her I needed to get a WSM which I ordered on Tuesday. I think she got tired of hearing me constantly b****in' about the lack of vent control on the brinkman.
I do have a question, I live in the heart of maple syrup country here in Ohio and I'm sitting on acres of sugar maple. Has anyone had any experience using sugar maple as a smoke wood?
Thanks,
Tony
