We rode the Harleys over to Columbus, MS and judged the Roast & Boast BBQ Contest this past weekend. I picked up on something I've got to try the next time I fire up the smoker. I judged shoulders on site and the team had used a combination of apple and cherry (50/50) woods. That combo of wood gave the meat a slightly sweet taste and did not have the marginal bite that all hickory can some times give. Now I have to locate a store that carries apple and cherry woods.

I've used both apple and cherry separately and in combination and I like it too. I cut both green from the tree for best results (but I lost my cherry tree last winter). I keep the green wood frozen when I have extra so that it doesn't lose the sap

BTW, We lived in Columbus MS for 5 years; that brings back some Regan era memories!

Were you stationed at the air base north of town? They really did a great job with the barbecue contest. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and made us feel right at home. Nice little southern town.

an interesting idea...freezing the green wood. Makes sense because its the sap that generates the flavor?

Yep. I went through AF pilot training there in '83 and then came back as an instructor pilot.
