"making" smoking wood - Page 2

I cut down a hickory tree on my property and smoked with it the same day once , I found the smoke a little strong / bitter. The same wood however , months later , seemed much smoother. Keep in mind though , I am in no way an expert , this was just my experience.

I just posted about this last week and if you can give the wood some time to "season" and loose any green wood then its a cleaner smoke but if you prefer stong smoke flavor then you get that with fresh cut wood better. I have plenty of apply to experament with.

I used to have access to peach and cherry tree cuttings, and they were great for smoking wood. And, I couldn't beat the price -- free.

As for age, if these are from last year, you should be fine.
