Ive been considering using Tag Alder for somking to provided a lighter flavor compared to the Sugar Maple i normally use. As a forester i know there are several species of alder in the US; red, black and tag all belonging to the birch family. Tag alder is the only species growing naturally in NY and it only grows in swamps. Can i use this for smoking?
