I have a KBQ and I plan to make Jerk Pork along with Jerk Chicken. I plan to use pork wings or Boston Butt for the pork and thighs for the chicken. At another website, they suggest using hickory and adding allspice along with bay leaves to the fire to simulate using the Pimento wood used in Jamaica. Will the KBQ (because of pulling the smoke through the fire) get rid of the allspice/bay leaf flavor?

Same here on being hypothetical. Not sure what temp will kill the aromatics of the herbs. My feeling is that they’ll be incinerated at a lower temp than regular wood but again...I have no experience with that

I would think it would work, but you are going to have to use it through out the cook. I don't think simply adding it at one point will impart very much flavor.
Do it and let us know how it works out. This could be interesting!
I was going to recommend going full throttle on both poppets until I saw Max's suggestion. I think his advice is the way to go (and I'm thinking about changing the rub on some of my other KBQ experiments...)
