![]() "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. |

I've been using crab apple wood for a couple of years with no ill effects. IMO, It's nigh impossible to differentiate any difference between crab apple and eating apple wood. Graeme |

I guess I could try it but doesn't the bark get stuck between your teeth? -- The Honorable Reverend Fosco Gamgee Whitfurrows and his 6" Boner Speaking on behalf of hisTraveling Entourage of Rotgut Drinkin' Religious Loonies |
