Smoke Wood[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana,Helvetica,Arial]
The best smoke wood is free smoke wood! Check with local orchards, golf courses, and tree trimming services, especially after storms. Tell them that your hobby is barbecue and you're looking for a few split pieces of wood, and you're likely to get some for free.[/FONT]

If you have to purchase smoke wood, it's best to buy locally whenever possible because of the high cost of shipping.[/FONT]

Hickory and mesquite chunks are readily available at most hardware stores and home centers. Check Home Depot, Lowe's, Orchard Supply Hardware, Ace, True Value, and other such stores. Better grocery stores will often have these products, too.[/FONT]

Alder, apple, cherry, oak, and pecan can be purchased at specialty stores like Barbeques Galore and from suppliers such as Peoples Woods (800-729-5800), Fairlane Bar-B-Q Wood (816-761-1350) and Chigger Creek Products (888-826-0702). Guava can be mail-ordered from Guava Wood Farms in Hawaii. You can also find a number of other smoke wood suppliers listed on The Smoke Ring.[/FONT]
