Hey Guys,
Fairly new guys to smoking. Dabbled in it for a few years, but have not really had the time. Now I'm in lovely Sandpoint, ID and Want to get out and kill it with the smoker. However, since getting up here, Ive a HECK of a time getting wood. Used to live outside SLC and there was a good Bulk store in SLC. Anywhere up here i can get some nice bulk wood? Or do i have to take a trip to SLC for it?
Also, to the 2 most important park! the smoker. Im using a Oklahoma joes longhorn?? ( or next smallest version of that) for myself. Any decent mods for that? Favorite 20191123_135333.jpg meat would have to be the brisket, With some nice homemade cheddar adn bacon sausages as 2nd.

Smoker in pictures is a buddies of mine. Let me borrow it for a work party, which i was able to run. Nice 10+ hours smoke ON THE CLOCK!! Grateful for that day.

Welcome, I'd think there would be plenty of maple and alder up your way that you could use as a fuel wood.
Not knowing what types of smoke wood you have locally you could always order a few different bags of chunks or splits to use as a flavor wood. Good luck let us know what you end up going with.
 
Welcome from Gilbert, Arizona! Since I move here from CA last year I haven't found much smoking wood growing in the desert. I order bags of splits for my offset from Cabelas, mostly hickory. I usually have to split the splits with a hand ax and hammer, they're thick but dry and burn great. RAY

I have family in the Sandpoint area, I love it up there and will most likely be moving up there in a few years.
If I do I'll load a trailer with Oak, Pecan, Cherry and Granny Smith apple wood because of your post.
I'll trade you some wood for some help to figure out the fishing and Elk hunting areas.
Thank you.
Dan

Unfortunately, No maple, and very few oak. I'm also not a tree expert, although ill have to look into it, but i can't tell a maple form a split log. I can t tell pine and ceder though :D
