Once upon a time, Tim shaped the electrons to say: >Also, what's your favorite wood for smoking peppers? Can I jump in here? Begging pardon, I know you asked Steve, but being born and bred in teh south, I'd love to say that my favorite wood for smoking ANYTHING, fish, beef, pork, chicken, and any type of peppers is, of course...hickory. Man, do I LOVE that hickory!!! James Now in Yakima, Washington
