    Apple is my favorite, but you can't beat the colour (superfluous "U" for the GWN brothers) cherry puts on poultry.
    favourite.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

  • I didn't know favourite had a superfluous "U".  Aupple is still my favourite.  Cheurry, hickoury and ouak are good too.  Those Jack Dauniels chips are auwesome as well.

    Thank you sir! Also what temp and how long did yours take? I usually run mine at 225 but I wont start till about 6:00 tonight (due to work) and have to take it off no later than 7:00 tomorrow morning. 
    I use all apple for butts and it comes out amazing every time.  At 225, mine get to 205 IT at about 18 hours pretty consistently.  That being said, I am an hour in to my first attempt at Turbo and banking on 5-6 hours at 350.  I'll let you know the difference.  I'm hoping there isn't much b/c I LOVE the result of the 18 hour pork cook

    Definitely let me know how that turns out man! Always enjoy seeing other avenues on how to approach cooking. (I'm already planning my next cook for next Friday!)

    HUGE success. The only way I'll go back to a traditional cook on a butt is when I'm doing a brisket at the same time.  I went indirect 350° with a drip pan and total cook time was 4:15. I'll list better details in a separate post

    Nice cook man! I'll definitely be trying this out sooner than later!
