I have a tendency to over-smoke so I took it easy on this one. Much better results. Sme people really enjoy a strong smokey flavor. I prefer a subtle approach.
Used apple and oak woods plus a mix of lump charcoal & briquettes.

I am in agreement. Over smoking ruins the meat. Let the meat do the talking. Also, your bark looks amazing. That’s a key factor in serving a delicious end product. Love apple and oak. I usually go Cherry and oak, but apple is great too. If you’re feeling crazy one day, try peach wood. Lump charcoal plus briquettes is a pro move. 10/10 sir.
Thanks - I learn from the pros! I watch videos and read a lot, but I'm definitely an amateur smoker. It's a lot of fun learning and cooking.
I'll have to pick up some peach wood. I have pistachio wood which is also very pleasant!
