Grape wood?

[murraygw]

I was told that just about all fruit woods were good for smoking. I want to ask if anyone knows if grape wood and the vines would be good to smoke with?

Haven't tried it yet, although it is listed on the smokin woods list here on the forum. Have some grapes, need ta give that a whirl some time soon.

I've used grape, but to be honest, I don't think you can really tell a difference over short periods. I've never tried grape over a long smoke, because I've never had enough trimmings to last that long. About 4 hours was all I tried, and it was mild, but I couldn't tell a difference between grape, apple, or peach. If you have it, I say use it. I wouldn't spend any money for it, and I certainly wouldn't go cutting on the wine vines just for burn wood. Which, BTW, mine are exploding this year. Assuming we don't have another freeze (anything's possible in Missouri) I look to be up to my man business in grapes this year.
