They look great.

I have never used Pear wood for smoking before.  How is it?

I realized something yesterday when we were eating the tri-tips last night.......I like the food that comes out of the PBC better without any wood added to it!!!  Just straight Kingsford gives the best results......

Discovered that tonight with some chicken legs and pork chops. I added a very large handful of pecan pellets to my charcoal weber. I just discovered that yes you can have too much smoke. Poke tasted more like ham. I had to pledge to my wife, no more pellets when I am doing charcoal. Yes dear.

Yeah, one was still kickin a bit  :D

I used only 4 lbs of Kingsford, thinking that since this was an under an hour cook, I can save on charcoal...........I think the lower amount of charcoal and the cold damp temps we had affected the cook by burning cooler.

So I said to myself, I said "Self, just fill the basket up for all cooks because you will still save on charcoal for the longer cooks like briskets and butts" Heck, my off-set takes 10 lbs alone just to get the smoking chamber stabilized at 230, and the PBC cooks a entire brisket with no more than 8 lbs of Kingsford!!
