I'm going to smoke some ribs and a few butts using hickory. Should I debark the wood before using?
I do not use bark pieces. If someone has a mold or fungus allergy and it has penitrated the bark, the temperature of the smoker is not hot enough to kill it. So I avoid it all together. I was told this by our local health department.
thats more from not having an adequate airflow.you're essentially eating creosote meat.Thanks guys! This is why I bookmarked this forum. I'd heard from I don't remember where that the bark could leave an acrid flavor to your food. Great to have good input from people who really Q.
