    Cinnamon Wood - Finally got it

    We've tried this, it's awesome. The only wood to use for jerk chicken!

    Cinnamon Wood - Finally got it

    Great question. When cinnamon spice is harvested, it requires taking off the inner and outer bark of the wood. Once this is peeled off, it really speeds up the drying process. So this stuff is pretty damn close to bone dry. Plus, in such a small size (like the photos) it doesn't hold onto...

    Cinnamon Wood - Finally got it

    I think so too! Hoping it gives off a cinnamon flavor but we’ll be exploring a ton of other woods too if this one doesn’t work out. I’ll make sure to keep SMF updated on the quest.

    Cinnamon Wood - Finally got it

    This is the type of stuff I nerd out on. There are, without a doubt, a ton of smoking woods that people haven’t used that could create some extremely unique recipes. Just getting them here is the issue but I believe it’s something that hasn’t been explored enough.

    Cinnamon Wood - Finally got it

    Thank you for the encouragement! I'm thinking the same, that it still has some potential for longer duration smokes. Could be interesting, for example, with cold-smoked cheesecake or something like that. Lots of ideas, just need to test more. I will keep the thread updated once we test!

    Cinnamon Wood - Finally got it

    It's been a 2 year project of mine to try and bring cinnamon wood into the United States to use as a smoking wood. Today, I finally got a sample and did a preliminary test. What is Cinnamon Wood? Cinnamon, in case you didn't know, is just bark scraped off of cinnamon trees. It's then dried and...

    Has anyone tried Stundenglass for smoking foods / cocktails??

    Huh, that's pretty cool. Way cheaper than the Stundenglass, too.

    Has anyone tried Stundenglass for smoking foods / cocktails??

    That’s pretty cool actually. That looks like a lot cheaper way to do it than with the Stundenglass version.

    Has anyone tried Stundenglass for smoking foods / cocktails??

    Not a bad idea actually. I bet smoked alcohols would work pretty well too, then

    Has anyone tried Stundenglass for smoking foods / cocktails??

    Lol that's how I prefer it too. I just wonder how well it works with cocktails and things like that. I always understood that smoke clings to fats, so with things like cocktails I don't know how well it'd infuse.

    hello from a southern country boy in Cali

    Haha no looking back! If you're anywhere near Costa Mesa, I suggest trying Beach Pit BBQ. It's the best I've had out here, and big portions too.

    Has anyone tried Stundenglass for smoking foods / cocktails??

    Hey guys, I came across this brand on Instagram the other day, and I'm wondering if anyone has tried anything like this. Here's a link: https://stundenglass.com/collections/beverage-infusion It's called "Stundenglass" and it originally was designed as a bong for smoking weed. But, they've seem...

    Coffee wood

    Reviving this thread as a newbie really into smoking woods both at home and professionally -- did anyone else have a chance to try these? The smell alone sounds like it'd be incredible. Thanks!

    Totally, I love mesquite! We want to stay in our lane of specialty things, and not try to compete with the larger brands that are doing mesquite, hickory, oak, etc.

    New Member, We Make Smoking Woods!

    Interesting. We’ll have to look into it a bit more to see if it’s totally safe. Sometimes it’s just out of an abundance of caution that people avoid certain woods. Like sassafras wood - some people LOVE it and have used it for years. Others avoid it like the plague because the plant can contain...

    That’s interesting you say that- because we’ve heard really mixed things on that. Some people say it’s great, others say it’s completely unsuitable for smoking. We’d love to try it — what meats does the bbq place cook with it? Everything typical or anything particularly unique?
