Wood for smoking (in Toronto Area)?
 

Does anyone know where I might to able to buy large amounts of wood chunks
like Cherry, Apple, Pecan... etc... in the greater Toronto area

I find the prices unreasonable at some of the stores like Sobies.

Maybe there are some farms or firewood places around Toronto that might sell
in bulk.

Any help you be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Daniel.

Some kinds of cherry grow wild, (choke, pin, sand). There is also Alder.
If there are orchards, go negotiate for trimmings.

Try seeking out a place that works with hardwoods/fruit woods etc. (oak and
cherry together I've had great success with - lovely flavour), maybe a
furniture/cabinet maker, and ask if you can have/buy some _clean_ chippings
or sawdust from them - I haven't had to do this myself, but several folk
gave me that tip, and said that's what they did, and most often got it for
free, too.

Cheers!

Better watch out or the anti-smoking idiots will be after you.

Toronto is awash in crab apple trees. If you don't have one a neighbour
does. The smoke from crab apple is sweet and tasty.

I get all my smoke wood free for the taking from a tree removal company.

Not in the Toronto area, but I have purchased it at a local Canadian Tire
Store. This was a few years ago. Worth a phone call to see.
