I really like pecan for smoking, but I tried cherry wood last Saturday when smoking a Boston Butt for some tasty pulled pork BBQ and it turned out great.
I never time my steaks.... I just know when it's done "Med" is the only way to go for me. As soon as you see the grease starting to puddle on the surface of the meat it's done. Thanks for the prep recipe; definitely going to give it a try.
Another planateer posted this sometime ago, and I have gotten a ton of good ideas from it.
