Glad I could help!

[@travellerseko]

Brilliant video again. You have excellent videos with full of high quality content.

[@tomwadek]

Thank you very much!

I had a pitmaster once say to me that wood smoke should be treated as a condiment, just like salt and pepper. Too much (or the wrong type) can ruin your protein.

[@tomwadek]

Definitely. I treat it just like that. Sometimes you want more sometimes you want less. I would agree. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

10:29 - to cook a pork butt, would you smoke it a bit before finishing it in the oven? If so, for how long and how will you know what type of smoke is created in that first hour?

[@BbqMikeG]

I hope the google search for smoke and wood flavors sends people to this video. Great explanation and helpful graphics.

[@tomwadek]

That is too kind. Thank you! Cheers

My pleasure!

Super informative! 11:14 Have you ever gotten lucky with the snake method on a kettle? Would love to know the conditions that led up to such a magical experience! E.g. # of starting briquets, layout of the charcoal, did you cover it once starting briquets were placed? Also setting of intake and exhaust air valves.

[@tomwadek]

Yes I have. I use to use it all the time but these days I prefer the diffuser plate.

[@jeoffbenzos4959]

You mentioned combining Cherry and Hickory. What would you use that for? Any other good combos I should try? I've mostly just used Hickory but want to try something new.

[@tomwadek]

I've tried that combo and enjoyed it on turkey and lamb

[@markchristopher4165]

Hey were you able to fix your master touch premium hinge problems? I bought one and I can't even align the hinge enough it doesnt close at the front

[@tomwadek]

Yes, mine had an out of round upper lid. Weber replaced it under warranty

[@jamesblames]

I'd have to disagree with the notion of mesquite not being as versatile as other woods. In southern Texas and Mexico it's used very commonly for grilling all sorts of meats and dishes. Chicken and fish included.

[@tomwadek]

Remember, I said it’s subjective and a general guide. Ultimately, do what makes sense and combine woods to get awesome unique flavors.
