Not a huge Raichlen fan (he advocates using wet wood) but thanks for the tip.  Got some good stuff in it - I know I'll try some of it one of these days.  He must be related to dee, though - I didn't see any pictures.

If one of you guys has the ebook could I get a copy? I dont want to register for an account just to look at his book to see if I like it or not.

I have one of his books around here somewhere that I will give away free, and I normally would never give away a cook book.

If you can tell me how to do, I can make it happen.  I suppose you have to log on to my Amazon account or something unless there's a file I can copy from my reader and ship you.

Hey Turtle, I have read some of your comments before on not liking wet wood to cook. Just for my personal knowledge, can you tell me why. Some folks swear by it. Supposely, it last longer or smokes more, I really dont know. The times I have used or have seen family members use wood to bbq, its always dry. Isnt that the whole reason why they let it dry out in the first place. Again, Im just wondering your thoughts on this. Thanks.
PS. maybe Im thinking of something completely different as to what it is when  your talking about wet wood.  :) ???

I used to wet my wood but it smolders too much and you don't get clean smoke. Besides the wood doesn't really absorb any water at all I have been pre-heating my wood before I add it too the charcoal and it bursts into flames immediately and I get that blue smoke we all want. I am talking about large chunks and mini-splits.

Maybe chips would benefit from soaking since they are so small and will just burn off right away......................

smoke pretty much figured it out (well done, grasshopper).  At best, it delays the smoke production until you want it.  Unfortunately, it also smolders and smells yucky and steams your food until it dries out. Using wet wood is a (poor) substitute for knowing what you're doing and applying it to your cooking.

That 'Google Play' is probably your best bet for viewing on a computer.   You'll need a Google account, but those are free. (and quite handy)
