Had anyone ever used Cottonwood in their smoker? I just picked up a load for the fire pit, but wasn't sure about using it in the smoker. What do ya think?
the fact that that smell is burnt into your memory is disturbing....lol. it mustve been bad. lol. funny but bad.I don't even use it for camp fires. Like jeoburg said, "it stinks"~to me it smells like someone pee'd in a fire (I'm a veteran Scouter~I know these things). Just imagine what your food would taste like!
With about 17 years as a Scoutmaster under my belt, that means a lot of overnight and summer camps with a lot of new Scouts getting the ol' double dog dare ya to pee in the fire" from the older scouts.the fact that that smell is burnt into your memory is disturbing....lol. it mustve been bad. lol. funny but bad.

This and other discussions I found on cottonwood make me wonder if we are talking about the same tree. Even dry, I wouldn't want cottonwood anywhere near my food.I agree with the ones below. Very light flavor. I put dead cotton wood in the chipper and use the chips.
