I bought a smoker at a yard sale 2 years ago (brand new, for something like $30), and haven't used it yet. I think it's traditional in the northeast US to wait until the power goes out in the biggest snowstorm of the year, and then cook outdoors. Has anyone ever tried salmon? What other woods, besides hickory, mesquite and apple? Am I creeping the thread?

I did NOT buy that guitar because I'd listened to Mudcat guitar nerds talk INCESSANTLY about their "babies," listened to them play or made a friend of one of them and asked "should I buy it?" when I know perfectly well he can't even say no to HIMSELF.

I have never purchased a kitchen appliance because of discussion here.
