Weather looks good at this point. I mentioned to the wife I wanted ribs ; she didn't argue with me on that. I'll make a meat run tomorrow after work and load up. Pick up or delivery ? I'll hook you up.
LOL , leave it to you to post that. As long as you don't post an after picture this morning we're good. Just clean bark less oak for wood. I have been taking any nice clean and straight splits from larger logs and putting some aside just for this. I prefer no bark if at all possible for smoking , Is no bark necessary? Probably not but it seems to work for me.
Yes you did , and no I haven't tried them yet. Chunks drying in the basement now. Going to try cherry when I do some bacon. Pork belly curing now , when done it will get smothered in black pepper then smoked. I have done bacon in the past but never on this cooker , I don't see any problem though. It is much better than what I used in the past so should be a walk in the park. As long as it turns out OK I plan on doing a double batch next time.
