in the evenings (and mornings), we were using a LOT of pine & Aspen

some people use for smoking)..

I dunno. I'll take advice from the experts. Notice the comment on
pine. . .

From the Klose website:

On the subject of BBQ woods, I have found the best results to be from
nut and fruit bearing trees, cut down from six months to two years
old. Like Oak, Hickory, Mesquite, Pecan, Peach, Pear, Apple, Apricot,
Alder and Maple to list a few. These are the safest types to use for
cooking. I have found that wood over two years old tends to produce a
dirty taste in the food more often than not. Wood can be cut down
whole, and split after five or so months of seasoning. I recommend
splitting three days or so before cooking with it.

You can use some woods green for cooking, but under no circumstances
should you ever use green mesquite for smoking. It will produce a
bitter taste in the pit for years that cannot be sandblasted out.
People have used green mesquite before because they saw someone in a
restaurant using it. That was for grilling with it, not smoking with
it where there is a top capturing the bitter smoke. That stuff will
black your eyes it’s so strong. Also don’t use any pine limbs. I saw a
man cook with the heart of pine, promptly promoting some of the
nastiest red splotches all over the skin of the unhappy diners, making
them extremely sick. I think the antigens got into their bloodstream.
Yuck! Stay away from pines.......

Try apple chips soaked in water, placed on your charcoal when you
cook duck or goose in your smoker. It will taste like you rubbed your
bird for hours with honey. Delicious......

Also try smoking a cherry pie on pecan wood. Great......

Your can also steam cook vegetables in your smokers.

Sawmills in LA.. Haa..hh Sorry.. Now, If you're looking for refineries,
them we gots!

And you got a huge paper factory in Shreeveport that smells like a
very well-used Porta-Potty hasn't been emptied for a year. And
you can smell it for 20 miles in either direction depending on
which way the wind is blowing.

Um. The LA mentioned above was L.A.--a/k/a "El Pueblo de Nuestra

Not many paper factories there, so far as I know. But yeah, paper
factories can get really bad.

I feed my friends. Andy gets me all the Crab Apple I want, Ewen dropped
off a load of Maple 2 weeks ago and my parent's farm has Hickory in the
fence rows. It's a good deal for all involved.

Just a quick question.. Where do you all get your wood for doing your
low-n-slow
smoking of pork, beef,etc? Is it any of the following or something else :

1) Buy it from my local BBQ's Galore
In N. Cal I'd guess that to be my only option for Hickory and Mesquite.
Although the local Long's Drugs sometimes has these.

2) Buy it from my local Walmart (or other B&M store)
See buybluedotcom

3) Chop it from my neighbors trees when they're not home
I live on 10 acres and it's heavily forested with oak.
4) Put an ad in Craigslist asking for wood cuttings from certain trees

Hmmm?
5) I own my own orchard and cut it down myself & season it.

I live very close to Pear, Apple, Plum, Apricot orchards and right nest door
to 200 acres of grapes. The price of pears is so low many growers are
letting the trees go to rot. Plenty of wood just for the asking.

Apparently, Dank has annoyed someone in possession of a Markov-chain
text generator. Not that he was ever coherent to begin with.

No doubt that this is one of your buddies from a.r.k.

And no doubt you have absolutely no proof for your assertion. But
that's typical.

Well, give her the benefit of playing the odds.

Given the average IQ in ark is higher than the cumulative IQ in afb, I
also tend to bet ark has several regulars who understand the math behind
a Markov chain, and how to apply such to text parsing.
