    Woods For Smoking

    Thanks timberjet. I chipped it up today with a hatchet and a chopping block. The maple bark peeled off really well and the wood chipped nicely.

    Woods For Smoking

    Very informative post. I live in Michigan and have an interest in smoking with woods from my own property. I plan to have seasoned pieces of all my good woods for smoking next year, but I really want to smoke with two of them, red oak and red maple, next week. I cut some of each into 1-2 inch...

    Insect damaged wood

    This is the ant damaged cherry wood. My wife is thinking we shouldn't even try it, but the pieces don't have an off smell or ants still living in them.

    Please help me identify this hardwood. Newbie here!

    That bark doesn't look familiar and you haven't added your location, so I can't take a regional guess, but there's a Woods for Smoking forum here where more people might take a look at it for you.

    Ever used Birch or Poplar?

    I burn a lot of different local woods in my outdoor wood fired boiler to heat my house, so I get exposed to lots of smoke. Poplar (quaking and bigtooth aspen) stinks and balsam poplar stinks even worse. White birch bark burns my eyes. Birch with no bark doesn't burn my eyes and I've heard that...

    Why not Cedar ?

    Northern white cedar is not a true cedar. It is a member of the cypress family, as is western red cedar and eastern red cedar, although eastern red cedar is a junipera, not a thuja. I've had fish cooked on white cedar planks and they were great. But the smoke from white cedar is particularly...

    Wolverine my (pork) butt! Spartan (1981)! :-) Thanks for the kindness all the same. Michigan is not known for great BBQ, but we're getting better.

    Insect damaged wood

    I'm very interested in using wood from my own properties to smoke with. I have alder, apple, birch, cedar, cherry, red maple, and red oak. I cut down a dead cherry yesterday and the core of the trunk had a lot of damage from carpenter ants. Aside from that, it was already well seasoned. I can...

    Hello from Northeastern Lower Michigan (Alcona County)

    I'm a complete noob when it comes to smoking and my cooking skills are so bad that I can burn water, but my wife makes up for it. She wanted a better smoker, so I made one from an electric oven by putting a burner in the bottom. So far so good. We started with ribs and we both just smoked our...
