Awesome! I am glad you came along Mike! Great info!Miketheforester wrote:Apple and cherry are all from the Rosaceae family and one of the characteristics of that family of plants is anise (also called cyanogenic glycoside) content which is the same base ingredient that is contained in arsenic. However different trees in this family concentrate this chemical in different places. Cherry trees contain quite a bit under the bark and in their leaves, while apple concentrates quite a bit in the seeds (that is why you aren't supposed to eat apple seeds). However, I believe anise is very stable and is not readily carried in smoke or other forms, basically ingesting a decent amount of the plant material is required to get poisoning from it. Smoking with it should be very safe.
