I am located in Northern California and I was wondering if any one knew
where I can get some sugar cane? It is great for smoking pork, but I do not
know how to get my hands on some.

San Jose Flea Market. Don't know if it's currently carried though. Is it
seasonal?

Technically, no, sugar cane is basically a thick grass that will grow
year-round in tropical/sub-tropical climates. So it depends on where
you get it from. I dunno where we get it from here in the SFBA;
if it is from the South, then it's a late summer/fall crop, if it's
from Hawaii, then it is year-round. Most of the cane is converted
to syrup before it comes to the mainland for processing, though.

This, BTW, is one of the benefits of a two-week stay on Maui
two years ago; the Sugar Cane Museum was cooler than I expected.

When I used to live in FL, they sold sugar cane stalks in the grocery store.
Do not know if they will ship them out. Try visiting this web site:

You're welcome. Now *I'm* curious where we get sugar cane from
in the SFBA ;-) I suspect there's some in Mexico/Central America...

Asian markets in Houston have it. It is used to make sugar cane juice
by people from southeast Asia. You have got plenty Asian markets to
try in the Bay Area.

Actually FLorida is the largest producer of sugar in the USA. Sugarcane
looks like big bamboo stalks. They make molasses out of it as well as
sugar.

Some pet shops carry it also. Seems that it is a staple for rabbits.

Well, darn, too bad we hadn't met up yet. I'm tickled to
see that Jane has been watching Dave's Q joint take shape and
had to come here to find out what it is.

We'll be back to Maui, I'm certain. Don't know when, but I
know we will. Last time, I had 250k United miles so the airfare
wasn't a problem... I haven't been flying nearly as much,
though.

Sorry, does NOT look like bamboo. Apparently you've never walked through a
bamboo forest. Come to Hawaii, I'll show you.

Never seen bamboo in person. Only photos and some of those small bamboo
plants that are about 2ft high. They sell them at fleas markets.
But for the sugar cane, they may not look like bamboo to anyone else but me,
but they are stalks. And in FL, they are extremely abundant.

Try Latin markets - I'm pretty sure the big ones in the Mission (SF) carry
it.

I would agree that a latin market would be first start. I live in Miami and
often ssugar cane in latin bodegas and juice stands. Never considered using
it for smoke.

You use it how? As the wood? Or as a seasoning?

It contains a remarkable amount of history in a very

sugar cane plantations and descriptions of life there was

I learned more about the immigrant population there than anyplace. For example,
I had no clue there was a huge Portuguese population at one time.

I believe the correct name is bagasse. Also used as boiler fuel and for
making paper and particle board.
