The Big E

What % of your cooking is only done with charcoal? Charcoal with some wood? Favorite wood and favorite charcoal brand. My favorite wood is apple. No favorite charcoal brand

Chanley I’m in Chicago. Do you use the cold smoker for all your smoking or do you use the Dutch oven technique. Or do you just throw a couple of wood chunks on the charcoal?

Do you use wood chipped that have been waterlogged?

do you not use wood chunks with your charcoal to smoke? If not are you using the smoker like a smoke daddy only?

Are wood chunks used with charcoal in this grill? If not how is smoking done?

Thanks for all the input so far. I’m come here as a 20 year large big green egg user who egg got tipped over and cracked. My first thought was just get another egg maybe the extra large but was looking for a better option. My first thought was either the 19/or 23. But have been leaning to the 32 as the 2 zone cooking is simpler other than the side shelf’s and divided charcoal holder what other options would you suggest?

Trying to choose between the 23 and 32 does size matter ? Second tile vs pebble --- As I have never seen one up close and personal -- The pebble looks better any advantage to the tile? or pebble long term? thanks Eli
