Farris, what wood do you use for smoking.
I like maple and apple wood. And sometimes mesquite.

Goodmorning David,well i'm using mostly oak,thats what i got plenty of since the storms!!i really like hickory,but it hard to come by here,have used orange wood,since so many dieing orange trees around,just don't care for the orange wood taste,bitter.Lot of guys around won't use nothing but charcoal,but it's so expensive for as much as it takes me in my brick cooker.oak makes to meat blacker,lots don't like because of that.man i'd sure like to get my hands on some pecan and apple wood. thats on up north of Florida.don't have much hardwood here.pine sure ain't know good for cooking.Have a Great Wk.end.David

For the onions
Take a baster syringe or other wide mouth syringe,
and inject the large onions with a mix of :

Sesame oil, white wine, soy sauce, ginger juice and garlic jiuce.

Or a bit of beef broth salt and pepper, and stick several cloves in the holes where the syringe was used.

I like that too, nice recipe and stylish too.

I forgot ,after the internaly basting onions are prepped,
put them in the oven and slow bake them till soft.

Or smoke them with the skins still on.
When the skins come off there will be aroma, but not harshness.

You can also mix pesto sauce, tomatoe sauce and wine and inject them for an Italian version.

Baby Back Ribs on the Grill..take about 4 1/2 hours with the lowest possible flame without it being off. Leave the lid about 1/4 open..

what a bargain..4 1/2 hour cooking time..20 minutes eating time..

I've been using Sweet Baby Rays Barbeque Sauce. First 2 hours with the bones down, then the hard part..open the lid , flip em' over, put some more sauce on them, close the lid about 3/4, go away..come back in about 2 hours.

Wheres the Food channel for my interview ?
