    Mystery cherry wood...good for smoke?

    I got my hands on some wood which I know to be some sort of cherry...perhaps black cherrry...actually, most likely black cherry. If seasoned, is it suitable for smoking? A co-worker questions black cherry's suitability for smoking. He says is might be too sappy. Any help is appreciated!!

    Can you use fresh wood?

    Thank you all for the advice. NO GREEN WOOD!! Thanks to BBQ Engineer for the Virtual Bullet link...VERY interesting bit about soaking wood. I shall skip it next time. Have any of you found success with the Minion Method of lighting coals in a horizontal smoker with firebox?? Sounds like...

    Can you use fresh wood?

    A guy I work with (who will likely join this forum soon) says that relatively fresh wood is good to use and you can skip the soaking part since it already has a lot of moisture in it. What do you characters think??

    How to store fresh wood

    I think I'm going to take the very same plastic bin (that my maple was ruined in), drill plenty of holes in the sides, drill a bunch more in the bottom (hopefully NOT compromise its structural integrity), put the wood in, put the lid on, cover with larger piece of plywood for rain sheltering...

    New Yawk!!!!

    To bbqfans: Thanks for the wood advice. I had a feeling that a year was going to be necessary...darn. Guess I'll have to buy some for this year. Say, can I leave the bark on the wood? I also like your storage advice...sounds easy enough...covered and off the ground. I like simple :) TANKS!!!!

    New Yawk!!!!

    Yeah, the stuff I make is generally quite moist inside but hard and leathery on the outside. And, it tastes great But chicken breasts tend to get dry and unappealing. I think I'll just use less smoke (a little less, that is), less heat and more time. Thanks for the reply!

    Looking for a cover

    I have a New Braunfels horizontal smoker with offset box. The box is on the left, and I need a cover for it. I have one now, but it is designed for the box on the right...it was the only one I could find. I turned it inside out so it would fit, but now it has holes from the elements. Where...

    New Yawk!!!!

    I'm Brian, from the lovely little village of Millbrook, New York. I've owned a New Braunfels horizontal smoker with offset firebox for about 6 years now. I'm not as serious about smoking as most of you characters are, but I love it anyway. I'm a high school chemistry teacher, am married to...

    How to store fresh wood

    That does look pretty kick-ass. My difficulty lies in the fact that I pretty much have to store my wood outside...the garage is too crowded, the basement too humid and I don't have a shed of any sort. I wonder if some sort of basket, kept off the ground and under a roof of some sort (just to...

    How to store fresh wood

    In the past, I've always purchased hickory wood in big bags and stored it outside in a plastic storage bin (and still in the bag). Last summer, for the first time, I got some fresh maple wood. I cut it into chunks and let it sit outside to dry in the sun for a month or so. Then, to store it...
