Hi there folks,
I'm new to Bradley smokers, and I must confess that I did not think I would find the unit to be better than some of my old smokers.  However, after smoking salmon the other day, and then tasting the gelatin that forms in the plate when you refrigerate it overnight, I was astounded - the gelatin was absolutely delicious with delicate flavors.  I'm now sold on the Bradley!

This is my setup:



... and actually the first thing I smoked was a bunch of chicken drumsticks.  First an hour in alder smoke at about 160F, then finished on the BBQ grill:



While I thought the drumsticks were fantastic, my wife said that she did not like the alder smoke.  Any recommendations for wood I should use for chicken?
