Title: Wsm Santa Maria
Post by: HoosierKettle on September 10, 2019, 03:20:38 PM: I’m doing a Santa Maria style cook with some plum wood. One of my trees made the ultimate sacrifice.

This is a live cook so I’ll be updating.

Awesome cook. I want to try a tritip that way.

I liked the plum a lot. Pleasant smell and taste like a lot of fruit woods but unique as well. This particular plum was an ornamental non fruit bearing type. It didn’t look like it was going to make it this year so I cut it down.

Yes I agree! Something about it adds something special.

I never gave up on the concept. I was just going to change to a 22 set up similar to Jules kettle stackers which I still want to do.

Regarding the tri tip, I drew my inspiration from white thunder bbq. I like all of his stuff.
