Bill do you know where I can find a good recipe to make barbecue hash?

Bill,

      I just bought your book and I know it is going to help me cook better BBQ. I am a novice and just bought my first offset smoker. A Char Broil Silver. I know it is not the greatest or most expensive cooker in the world but I figured if I can learn to cook decently on this one maybe I will upgrade in the future. My question is how long should I add smoke during the cooking process of the butt. I noticed you did not disclose that info in you book or what type of wood you used. I am sure this is probably a guarded secret but if you could point me in the right direction it would be a great help. Thanks, Sean from Ft. Myers Fl.

 Bill i have decided to find a good wireless monitering system to use with my smoker.I don’t care about the price , i just don’t want to waste my time with worthless junk. I have been looking at other opinions of the maverick system and have found numerous complaints from buyers of the product on different sites that sell it.
  The following site is just one example if you would be  interested in reading some opinions. http://www.smarthome.com/asp/ReviewRead/ReviewRead.asp?itemnumber=3219
  If you have used this unit enough to personally vouch for it then let me know how their claims compare with the actual performance of the product,range,temp.reading accuracy etc.
  If in your opinion the unit dosen’t stand up to their claims then recommend a good unit to me reguardless of the price if you know of one.
