My uncle worked at a local sawmill and used to bring me truckloads of hickory............he changed jobs so now I'm out of luck. I ordered some of the Weber brand apple chunks awhile back and really liked them alot. I tried mesquite and didn't care for it at all but that's just me. I am surrounded by pecan trees so getting that wood is no problem. I like it for certain things. I want to try some maple.

It sure is nice to have those kinda hookups for wood. I have tons of hickory and oak but no access to pecan. I have traded for it in the past. One day I will find a good place to get it nearby

I've heard of some people using it, but I have never tried it myself.

Hey guys, I've used most of the common woods... oak, hickory, apple, maple, pecan, but since I tried Peach I kinda like it with my pork . Although I don't think you can go wrong with a good oak base for any meat. Found a Peach orchard close by that was willing to let me come by and remove the "dead wood" from their place....does wind damaged limbs qualify as "dead wood"

If wind damage does not count, then it should. I stick with oak for the most part, with hickory on the side.

Just brought back a little each of Peach, Apricot, Walnut and Hickory. More Peach and Walnut on the way when I go back in Feb. Hey Frank - Wanna trade some peach for some apple? - BTW - what's the peach/apple exchange rate...? (I crack myself up)

I sure wood!

not sure of the exchange rate tho...
maybe do some reading on the walnut tho. I have read it is not recommended for smoking meat.

prolly cause it's too expensive - thanks for the tip though, I'll check into it...

Ok, so I discovered I don't like hedge wood. don't like the smell of it and it is too hard to keep the smoker temp down. I was using it with some hickory. 1/4 stick of it and 3- 1/4 sticks of hickory. got the air inlets closed nearly off and cant get below 245*F. just gotta wait till it burns off and then DON'T DO THAT AGAIN LOL.

Good safety tip Egon! Don't cross the streams and no hedgewood...

So I guess technically not all " fruit" trees are good to smoke with?

Gizmo · Post by **Gizmo** » December 10th, 2011, 2:51 pm

That's what I'm starting to think...

Post by **Tom_Heath** » December 11th, 2011, 8:19 pm

I thought all smokers were propane powered.
