Craziest thing you have smoked...

[BuckeyeSteve]

got to laugh, when I was a kid me and my buddies tried smoking dried up tree leaves. I used to wonder how people enjoyed smoking cigarettes.

HaHa. I was probably around 12 or 13 when I tried to smoke poplar leaves. I didn't have a clue what I was doing and didn't roll them tight. It was like a fire breathing dragon in reverse. My throat was on fire. I don't know how I didn't do any damage.

Are you wanting "craziest" or "stupidest" things?
Many fruits and veggies take smoke well. I get requests for smoke dried tomatoes.
I'm going to try snake melon this summer. I doubt smoked cucumber is going to be a crowd pleaser, but worth a try
Something I did last year that won't be repeated, smoked Italian meatballs. Not my liking.

The local ... uh herbal smokers were all buzzing last year (pun intended). A grower (farmer) had 2 fields of hemp. Don't know if they were going for seed or the plant for CBD.
I know it doesn't "smoke" well

Looking forward to seeing how those turn out! Might need to baste them in rum!

I pulled them off around 10:30 pm.
They went 9 hours.
I did learn something about my 560... I had the temp set at 150, about as low as I could turn the controller and twice I got an Error 4 message..." failure to ignite".
The fire was still going and I could jump the controller up and it would go okay.
So I turned it up to 160 and everything was just fine.

The pineapple was drying faster on the main grill so I switched places and put the bananas on the bottom.
The Pineapple came out like slightly moist leather (good though) and the bananas needed more time. The bananas were still a little bit tacky.
I had them on parchment paper and that worked out well.
I am going to finish the bananas off in the dehydrator

That sounds good! I bet you cook chop up some of the dehydrated bananas and throw them into a smokey trail mix

I live in the East Foothills of N Cal and I am surrounded by Mandarin and Olive Orchards.
I have hit up the orange orchards for wood when they start pruning.
I have thought that Olive wood would not be good for chips because of all the oils that are in the wood.
Today I saw a recipe for "Olive Wood Smoked Olive Oil" and learned that this is a thing !
I even saw Olive Wood Smoked Sea Salt !

This is from one of the product reviews...

"Savory notes of smoky olive wood are infused with the highest quality, fresh extra virgin olive oil to make our Olive Wood Smoked Olive Oil. Our smoked olive oil is all natural with no artificial ingredients, preservatives or refined carrier oils! The flavor of olive wood smoke is close to that of oak wood smoke. In Andalusia, Spain, olive wood is commonly used for grilling fish, poultry, meats and vegetables. "
