About this deal

Thin blue smoke is nothing more than smoke that contains as little ‘unburned’ solids in it as possible. Leaves — 1 1/2 to 3 inch, 3-lobed, round, occasionally with pointed tips, wavy edges. Hairy underside is a dull green/white. Green turns to scarlet or yellow in Autumn. Once you have a little more experience, you can go ahead and mix the types of wood, achieving a slightly different flavor or utilizing other characteristics of a particular type of wood. Flowers — A tree can have only male, female, or a mix of both flowers. The flowers are greenish-yellow, small, and form clusters that hang from a 1 to 2-inch stalk. Apple, apricot, and cherry are all fine options and will work great with vegetables. Best wood for smoking cheese: cherry & apple

They will burn for a long time, but it is hard to control heat and smoke with logs, so don’t try this as a beginner. Be careful to make sure you know what the trees are, as some should never be used and can be toxic. There’s lots of information on which woods to use, and how to identify them, in the rest of this guide. The initial part of the word pyrolysis, “pyro,” may be familiar from phrases like pyrotechnics and (for you Def Leppard fans) pyromania. It translates to “fire,” as you may have guessed. However, at this stage, ironically, there are still no visible flames. If you think the time investment of retrieving and drying green wood is too much, there are easier paths, from lumber yards to your local store.

Most of us don’t own a selection of trees we can prune and harvest smoking woods from, so we need to find a source elsewhere. Here are your options. Peach trees grow between 10 and 30 feet high, with a trunk just 5 to 8 inches wide, with a wide crown with flat to upward pointing branches. In the Betuloideae family with alder, 31 of 35 species are native to North America. It grows across the U.S. from Maine to Minnesota to Texas along rivers, creeks, and marshy ground. Red or River varieties grow 100 feet tall in the wild. The best advice I can give is to source a large amount of two types of wood, one mild and one medium to strong. Which ones depend on what’s local to where you live.

Smoking wood chart | Ultimate guide to the wood you should use

To become a pitmaster, understanding how wood contributes to smoking meat is an intrinsic part of capturing the quintessential flavor! The e-book version of the Trees of Eastern North America (Princeton Field Guides) also came in handy. The ideal wood for smoking meat is cured hardwood. Cured wood basically means that the wood undergoes a drying period of 3 to 12 months, depending on the climate.Flowers — There are separate male and female flowers on the same branch. Male flowers are 3 to 5-inch yellow-green catkins, 3 per stalk. Female flowers are tiny, 1/8 inch long oval-shaped clusters of 2 to 4 at the tip of each branch. For example, strong, earthy, and spicy woods can be mixed with lighter, fruity, sweet-flavored woods to get a more balanced and complex flavor profile that is the best of both worlds. Grapevine is a very popular smoking wood in wine country. It has a mild and fruity flavor that is perfect for smoking pork, poultry, and beef. I have listed in the below table only the most commonly used woods and ones that I have bought and used myself. I love cooking outdoors over live fire and smoke whatever the weather, and I own over 30 grills and smokers of all varieties that I frequently cook on to produce epic food.
