    New Guy In Southwestern PA

    Been grilling for many years, mostly on a LP Gas grill, I'm new to AmazingRibs.com and a new Pitmaster Club Member. Just bought a new Weber gas grill to replace my 17-yr old Kenmore with its rusted-out burners and deflector plates, it'll be here end of next week. I'm planning to get into smoking on the grill (when I told her, my wife thought I meant cigs!) so I ordered a 12" smoke tube and pellets starter kit. Ribs & Chicken mostly. Looking for advice on using the tube and fuel, and ESPECIALLY guidance on what types of pellets and wood chips to use - flavors, best sources, etc.

    Welcome to the Pit from catty corner across the Commonwealth. I like hickory for ribs and apple for poultry, but I think either make good all around smoke flavors.

                              The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One


                              The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

                              Comprehensive Temperature Magnet With 80+ Important Temps

                              Amazingribs.com temperature magnet
                              Winner of the National BBQ Association’s product of the year award. This 8.5″ x 11″ magnet contains more that 80 benchmark temperatures for meats (both USDA recommended temps as well as the temps chefs recommend), fats and oils, sugars, sous vide, eggs, collagens, wood combustion, breads, and more. Although it is not certified as all-weather, we have tested it outdoors in Chicago weather and it has not delaminated in three years, but there is minor fading.

                              The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy


                              The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

                              GrillGrates Take Gas Grills To The Infrared Zone


                              GrillGrates(TM) amplify heat, prevent flareups, make flipping foods easier, kill hotspots, flip over to make a fine griddle, and can be easily moved from one grill to another. You can even throw wood chips, pellets, or sawdust between the rails and deliver a quick burst of smoke.

                              The Cool Kettle With The Hinged Hood We Always Wanted


                              Napoleon’s 22″ Pro Cart Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It’s hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the 22″ Pro Cart a viable alternative.
