Ceed,
FWIW I'm not concerned with trying to obtain consistant results. Thats
one of the fun things about this hobby; each time it's different, and
thats ok and interesting in its own right. Sometimes a lighter smoke
content, sometimes heavy. Sometimes a sauce would taste sweeter, chalk
it up to variety. If you run out of wood, well, you'll probably end up
with a lighter smoke flavor, use what you have, add wood when it feels
and looks like it needs it, and create a work of art. Unless you do
things that would really mess it up, bbq is generally very forgiving.
