Crabapple Wood? OK or Not OK to use when Smoking
"Glen S" > wrote in message ... I just picked up some crabapple wood from my neighbor who was cutting the tree down. Is it worth the effort to cut & dry the wood for future smokings? We really enjoy doing ribs, brisket & pork shoulder. Thanks in advance for your feedback It has bee u sed. Rule of thumb is any fruit bearing or nut bearing tree is good. Take a sliver and light it. Once it is burning, blow it out and sniff the smoke. It should smell sweet enough to eat. |

IMO, It's nigh impossible to differentiate any difference between crab apple and eating apple wood. Graeme |
