OK, enough plagiarizing the Stones. Originally from Wisconsin, relocated to FL in 1999. Cut my teeth on a 16" Charbroil H20, currently love my 22" Weber SMC. Has anyone experimented with citrus wood? Lots of grapefruit, orange, lemon, etc. available. I do mostly pork with apple & hickory, (and an occasional brisket when time permits, hickory & mesquite - NOT a big oak fan) but poultry and seafood are abundant down here and I'm feeling adventurous. Any words of wisdom?

Welcome from SC. It's really good to have you here on this great site. I'm sorry, I can't help. Up here in the foothills of SC, we don't have too much Citrus wood. I've never tried any of the combinations that you mentioned.

Good luck and good smoking, Joe. :grilling_smilie:

CCSmoke, welcome to SMF!  Glad you are here and have an abundance of wood available.  Here's a list of woods good for smoking.  Citrus is on the list.

Enjoy smoking!

Welcome to SMF!

Citrus wood works great for smoking.

Thanks, great info! I'll give grapefruit wood a try on some fish fillets (amberjack). The wood has been drying for about 2 months, we'll see how strong or mild it is.
