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!
