Dan from Oregon SI 3.5 Digital WIFI with the cold smoker.
« on: March 07, 2022, 08:50:08 PM »
Glad to be in this forum and getting to know all of you. Just did our first smoke yesterday 3/6/2022 and did the Prime Rib recipe in the book it came with and it was fantastic. I do have a question about the amount of wood to use. The book it came with said 3 OZ of hickory and cherry and in the Lazy Q it says 5 OZ of Hickory and cherry. I used 3.5 OZ of Hickory and cherry total. I have been BBQ and smoking for years and using old tired equipment so we decided to go for the SI smoker and I think this is going to be a good ride with this baby.  Have a great day

If I'm using hickory, I go on the smaller side of weight. If I'm using Apple and/or cherry, I go with a couple of ounces more. But rarely go over 6-7 oz.

Welcome from the Land of Enchantment!

As for wood, I tend to go a bit more than what the recommendations are, but that’s just the profile I’m after. I have really enjoyed the fruit woods, oak, sugar maple and hickory.

Enjoy that 3.5! And thanks for the pics!

I tend to use a little more wood than called for as well. Thanks for sharing those pictures. I love learning from others, even if it does leave me hungry.

Welcome Dan from SE Arizona.  Good looking inaugural smoke. As for wood quantity, all a matter of taste.

I agree with the comments regarding additional wood. I use 2-3 ozs. more than is suggested since we like a healthy dose of smoke.

Thanks to all of you. I can't wait to do my first Pork butt, Brisket, Chicken, Ribs but Salmon will be the next item that goes into the smoker. I will post pics for sure. We are going to love the 3.5  :)
