So,
My main reason for getting the smoker is to make good Andouille Sausage.
Problem is getting Pecan Wood.
I found Traeger Pellets here in Oregon and bought a 20# bag. I tried smoking those pellets and got an OK smell to the smoke, but then I read on this sight that Traeger uses mostly fillers (Alder?) and not 100% Pecan.
So, not knowing what Pecan Smoke should Smell like, I was hoping for some advice here. Do the Pecan Traeger pellets result in decent Pecan Smoke?
1) I can either use the Traeger pellets,
2) Order Pecan Chips/Chunks online (but that looked pretty expensive)
3) or use Hickory (local store carries) or Cherry Chunks that I have available already from Trees I cut down 2 years ago and let seaon.
