I am fairly new to the smoking world. Wanted to get everyone's thoughts on smoking with wood. I know i have used oak in the past and left the bark on one time and it made for an interesting eat found out later that bark left on the wood can be dangerous or so ive been told. I smoked some meat a while back using wild cherry wood and it has a real thin bark was wondering is it ok to leave the bark on ? If it is ok which wood can you leave it on and which one do you need to remove it on. Thanks for any help ...
