Default Two Tips for Florida Smokers..

Hey Floridians,
I've been searching all over the place for some good wood to smoke besides hickory..which I love. You won't beleive what wood is ranked EXCELLENT..most of us have it in our own back yard. Citrus wood. I cut up an old orange tree the other day . Two days ago I cut up some good sized chips from a dead but not rotted log..The ribs and chicken quarters were outstanding..Then I looked on ebay..Citrus wood chips is not cheap..So Floridians..dry yourself some orange, grapefruit lemon or lime out..It's great.

Also..the bigger chips raise the heat up..so instead of 5 hours for chicken quarters..looking at about 3 hours..When I get hickory chips from the store..I'm lucky to maintain a constant 210 degrees..With bigger chips..275..I need to close some vents off a little the next time.

Anyway..citrus is a great smoke
I'm not to fond of pecan or apple
