I'm doing ribs and smoked beans Saturday, going to hit one of the 3 markets tomorrow and pick up a few racks. I need to get some lump charcoal and wood chunks too, lots of running tomorrow.
Every now & then Meijer/Home Depot/Lowe's has Kingsford charcoal on sale. Two 20lb bags for 10 bucks. I stocked up last fall and bought like 120 lbs. And there's a carpenter two doors down from my shop who's mom has an orchard or something, so he's always giving me different wood chunks to try. Cherry & hickory are my favorite, then apple, then oak & maple. It also depends on the meat.
Try the lump charcoal from GFS, it's hunks of charred oak. It burns hotter and leaves a lot less ash behind, so cleanup is way easier.
Nitsches meat on van dyke between 23 and 24. If I'm not mistaken the even sell them pre cooked and they are amazing. They call them Dino bones.
Steiners at 12 and Ryan, Boffs on 10 between Hoover and Van Dyke, or Mario's on 10 just west of 94. All 3 are very good. Mario is a pretty cool guy, 90 years old and still goes to work every day. His sons are the butchers.
EDIT: Oops, I read that wrong, I thought you said Macomb County. Either way, those are still worth checking out.

I'm surprised no one has said Asher's on groesbeck just south of the train tracks south of Harrington (mount Clemens general)
