If that's the Famous Dave's on Route 22, they DO use wood. They've a got a
Southern Pride in the back that runs on a combination of wood and gas. I ate
there about 4 months ago. The ribs were OK (read that as edible) the pulled
pork need all of their sauces for flavor.

Dave is from Minnesota, by the way.
