I love smoking meat. . . been doing it for over ten years now and never ruined a piece of meat. Before I got into it, I knew nothing about it other than the wonderful meat you can get from smoking in your backyard. So I did my research and learned a lot.
I have always ordered wood chunks from an online retailer who was top notch. They had fruit wood that you can't find elsewhere. And their wood was stored indoors, eliminating piles of wood left outside subject to bugs, bird droppings, and other unpleasant situations. They are going out of business. The owner is retiring. Panic set in!
After searching online, I think I have found a reputable vendor. You can't stockpile wood for more than 6 months or so as it loses its quality in flavoring the meat.
I'm a fair weather smoker so over the winter - and this winter has been particularly harsh - my two smokers sit dormant. Hopefully in another month or six weeks I can fire up one of them. Nothing is finer than sitting outside by the smoker taking in the wonderful aroma coming from my Weber Smokey Mountain smoker! Even my neighbors enjoy the smell!
If you love great tasting meat - roasts, chickens, baby back ribs, briskets - get into smoking meat. It is easy and with just a little knowledge, you can experience the thrill of this hobby. And I highly recommend the Weber Smokey Mountain smoker.
