wood for sausage (salami)

[ldrus]

just mixed up 5lb of meat for old fashion salami (hi-country mix)  was wondering if there is a better wood to use  then another when doing sausage/salami

I use hickory for just about everything, but I'm sure our resident sausage guru's will have a better answer.

I would be willing to bet that if 10 SMFers were sitting at a table of of food smoked by 10 others..that not many could not say what was used to smoke those items.

I use local pecan and oak..it's free.

Use what ya have ... don't sweat the small stuff.

Good point Craig! I just like the smell of hickory coming out of the smoker.

pecan is great on sausage and if you can score some sassafras even better.

Nepas is 100% correct,but lately i've started using straight birch wood no bark and it seems to add a real interesting taste that people seem to love.Living in alberta Canada we have an abundance of birch here.
