Which is your favorite wood for smoking poultry?
I’m a newbie to the grill and have only bbq’ed so much so far. I’ve added Weber hickory chips and I like the flavor they have.Definitely Cherry. Hickory is too over-powering for poultry. What are you smoking with?
Best steak I ever had was cooked over a campfire in the rain at Jack's Canyon over a fire fueled with a mix of local scrub juniper and some mesquite firewood logs we picked up at Circle K on the way out of town. Overnight the rain turned to snow, and we had to de-ice the tent to break it down when we packed out....I use apple, unless I want the particular flavor of mesquite (where a little goes a long way)

I remember the Chuck Box. It was across the street from Ozzie's Warehouse, where my old band played a number of gigs back when dirt was rocks....Best burger I’ve ever had was cooked over mesquite at the Chuck Box lol

Tempe was the one I was referring to. Not sure if it still exists. I stopped going to Tempe around the turn of the century. All that Super Bowl money ruined it. The heart and soul of old Tempe died when Elvis DelMonte passed in '99....I think they had a couple, I know there was one in Scottsdale Rd that closed but I think the original in Tempe is still around, or at least was a few years back
In the case of my steak anecdote, it was less an anal thing than a 'what we could find that burned' thing. We literally picked up a $5 bag of firewood at Circle K that happened to be mesquite, and scrounged for kindling at the site, picking dead branches off juniper and other local scrub bushes and trees. It just happened to work well....Wow, and I thought the anality (or is it analizing?) of guitar tone could never be matched, but I see BBQ woods are a very close 2nd!
Hmmm..... Mr. Cliff, I think you should develop a parallel business and introduce the world's first "Modeling BBQ" cooker. Different smokewood blocks, seasoning effect blocks, the reverb block could easily transition into a firebox dimensions block. I know Austinbuddy would have a preset pack out before Thanksgiving......
I have some art work I bought from Elvis in front of Long Wongs back in the day, also saw him to a guest appearance with the Guin Blossoms at the state fair.Tempe was the one I was referring to.

Cool! Got to play at LW a couple times as an opener, can't remember the name of the band, but the one guitarist was a big, tall guy who played Rickenbackers. Played Sail Inn quite a few times. Wouldn't be surprised if the local draconian loitering, etc. policies enforced by the police didn't have a hand in Elvis' demise. You couldn't hang out any more after all the big name generic shops/restaurants went in. 'Shop and leave' was the policy.I have some art work I bought from Elvis in front of Long Wongs back in the day, also saw him to a guest appearance with the Guin Blossoms at the state fair.
