Question about the Orion. Can you employ other woods effectively or is this strictly a charcoal smoker / slow cooker? I haven't found much info online regarding people using applewood or other options. Either that or I haven't been paying well enough attention :lol:

I've used all types of different wood in the Orion. My current arsenal consists of
Hickory
Mesquite
Cherry
Apple
Maple
Sassafras

Bump and gripe.

The good news is, you can have beer (but no other intoxicating liquids), but not in glass (riiiight).

The bad news is, and this is something that really chaps my hide about this state, it costs $20 to get a permit to enter the park if you're not a resident. Which, I'm guessing, none of us are. The big park in Greenwich is the same way. WTF is up with charging to enter a city park? Imaguine Central Park charging $20 to get in. Or the Commons in Boston. Charging for parks is near the top of my "Why I Hate Connecticut" list.

only 'park' I've ever recalled paying to enter is a beach, but that's a parking fee typically; not an 'entrance fee'

with you cten that's pretty lame

It looks like it is actually Stamford that is charging and get the money and not the greedy state.
