Woods i use for smoking meat
Here's the list of what woods i use; Hickory-
The last hickory I used for
smoking is from a tree I cut down that was growing in the woods on the family
farm. The trunk was about 8 inches in diameter, so I ended up with a lot of wood
to use, and a lot to share.
Mulberry
I've used quite a bit of
mulberry wood. It's common here in Southcentral Kansas. I've even have a couple
mulberry trees in my yard. Birds spread mulberry trees by eating the berries,
then transporting the seeds internally (in their droppings)
Red Oak-
I've used this wood quite a bit, usually when smoking beef briskets and pork
ribs. The flavor is not as rich as that of hickory.
White Oak-Another native tree on the farm, these are much smaller than the red oaks. The
flavor is similar, but can be a bit harsher than their red cousins. Squirrels
and whitetails love the acorns from white oaks.
