Hey guys, I have a plum tree in my yard that needs to be pruned back and some of the branches cut. I have a few questions.
Note: I use a WSM, so I use wood chunks, not logs.
1. Can I use wood from the branches? Seems like I've read that folks say the only good wood for smoking is from the trunk. I'm not cutting down the whole tree.
2. If the wood from the branches is fine to use, how long should it season? Fruit woods don't season as long, correct?
Thanks, guys! Look forward to hearing your expertise!
