I'm in the porcess of building a barrel smoker now, We have apple wood we will probably use.

Over here we use a native hardwood called Manuka.
It gives a really nice flavour.

For those of you guys that use apple wood, How does it turn out? I plan to build a smoker too and was planning on using apple cause that's what I have.

I was getting ready to delete. I thought it said smoking weed.

Just throw the thread into the homestead section Dale. I'm sure we would get some contributors there!
BTW, Apple is awesome for open fire cooking and even better for me is hickory.
Apple weed... hmmm sounds good to me!! (I don't smoke the contriband)

We use hickory. Haven't tried apple on fish yet.

I prefer oak. Mostly blackjack oak or post oak. Apple is good too, but we can't find much of it unless someone cuts up a tree in their back yard.

Hickory and mesquite are good smoker woods too, but both of these can really overpower meat if left too long, in my opinion.

my favorite is alder...its the best on fish i think ! i also use apple and hickory and more and they all work and taste fine.

did i mention i like alder?...roflmao...i buy several bags when i can find it.it was free when i lived in the PNW...darn it...me and my pals cut a truck load for our smoker in alaska.the smoker was 4ftx4ftx4ft.we could load that smoker with king salmon..it was hard to stay out of it before it was done.
