Chicken stock gelatin shortcut?

No, never tried it. Might be as much or nearly as much work as making your own stock/broth. I just started saving bone, necks, wings, etc. and using my pressure cooker to make broth. Takes ab 1/2 hour.

MSP...Where Can I Buy Chunk Hardwood for Smoking / Grilling?

I get wood at either Gander Mountain, or Home Depot.
