Has anyone tried corncobs?  I BBQ very often in my Weber as do many people in the KC, MO area.  Usually the standard hickory, apple & sometimes mesquite wood for flavor.  Am not a big fan of mesquite as it quickly overpowers what you are BBQing.  A little goes a long way.  

Now for the corncobs....   the cobs that I use are from field corn and not sweet corn.  You soak them in water for several hours before using.  Their smoke adds a distinctive sweet and smoky flavor to meats.  The sweet taste is excellent.  Has anyone tried corncobs for smoking peppers?  It just seems that it would be a great marriage of sweet & hot.

Still haven't purchased a smoker.  Wanted to smoke a turkey for Thanksgiving this year, but noticed that the Sam's Clubs are offering a smoked 10# Butterball turkey for only $16 this year.  Have purchased the regular smoked turkeys from them for years.  Very good!
