Did some cheese last night over some cherry pellets.  I'd made a 'diffuser' with some aluminum foil on my CGS Spider. And when I flipped it over afterwards, this was the result...  the photo doesn't do it justice, but it was really red and really pretty!

    If you want that deep red color on poultry then cherry wood brings it every time.

    I smoke chicken breasts for my lunch every day for the week on Sundays.  I traditionally used mesquite but I just tried Cherry.  The flavor and the color is amazing!

    It's why cherries are red.

    I smoked some cherries over some chicken smoke the other day.

    I use cherrywood frequently. Good flavor and color. Brisket with Oak and some cherrywood mixed in gives good results.

    super excited just picked up some cherry wood yesterday and was wondering what protein I would try first. I now know its chicken!  This egg life is grand I have so many things I want to try and not a big enough stomach (albeit my stomach is quite big) to eat everything i want to make at once forcing me to spread it out. Oh BGE where were you 10 years ago, oh how fat (fatter really) and grand and gay (to clarify Happy not gay not that there is anything wrong with that) could I be right now.

    Ha !  Yeah, this color was so cool, I wish the picture was better tho.  I was telling a buddy about it, and I was like, I would love to have a guitar that color!   Glad y'all are having fun with this!!!
