Where are you flatlanders getting your wood chunks from? And doesn't your beer get a little hot that way?
Plenty of pecan available here...BBFW and the guy on 16th St. and Greenway (Aire Libre) always have it, and so does Glowing Embers, but he's on call for orders greater than $75 during the summer. Those are my main sources. If I have an emergency, I can get chunks at KMart or Wally World.
