Hickory and mesquite. So I picked up 40 lbs of hickory.

Is this a fair price? Worth going back picking up some
more?

W. W. Woods web site says the bags are a third of a cubic

Your alot closer to the source than I am and I've never
seen any hickory trees in Kalifornia.

Segue.

I've decided to save the briskit and ribs I bought for
Christmas company. I took out two pork picnic shoulders,
one 6 lbs the other 8 lbs, to break in my new WSM this week
end. Which should I put on the upper shelf, the bigger or
the smaller shoulder? I'm thinking the bigger one on top.

Semi-dry rubbed them with garlic, onion, fresh ground black
pepper, brown sugar and adobo sauce.

The temp is always higher on the top rack. Since more time is needed to get
that 8 pounder to temp than the 6 pounder, put the 6 pounder down below.
