rosemary

Hey, Smoke Freak!

When I lived in a warmer climate I had the pleasure of growing several large rosemary bushes. The leaves, or needles, are a delight to use in so many ways. However, the bush, or tree, is a perennial conifer. The smoke produced by that would will be just awful.

I have burned trimmings from rosemary bushes and that was my direct observation.

Use the usual parts in all the wonderful ways that were intended and toss the wood. It would be like burning a pine tree in your smoker.

Cheers!

Rosemary is also a great addition to brines, especially turkey! Keep a few clippings of that plant, it's definitely worth keeping!
