I am pretty new to smoking meat, and so far i'm loving it. I found a good deal on chunks of fruitwood from a local guy (good deal compared to the local hardware store anyways) and he had both chunks and burls to offer. He told me that the burls are "what the pros die for" becuase they have have more scar tissue and provide better flavor. I tried to search for burls and smoking, and pretty much just came up with woodworking sites. Can anybody provide any info about his claim? Are the burls from fruitwood trees better than the rest of tree for providing flavor? Either way I'm excited to try smoking with something other than hickory...
Thanks for the help!
