Howdy everyone. Yup, I'm a newbie here, so bare with me. I love to grill and smoke, and I've used several different species of wood. From my hobby as a woodworker, I have a lot of left over scraps. I am now working with white oak, and while cutting the stuff with my saws, it smells different. I've used red oak, but, has anyone used white oak??? And do you like it???? I'm a little skeptical.
Thanks for your input.
 
white oak is fine,but as you already know its HARDER. It burns alot hotter too. I have a stickburner, and use red oak for the main fuel, and cherry, maple, mullberry, crabapple, and apple as my seasoning woods in the first half of the smoke session!
 
Yes, I know it's harder and didn't even think about the hotter heat. But I will try it the next time I grill. Just mainly to experiment. Thanks, gary

I've been grill'n for many years and I think I do a fair job of it. Maybe I'm a little back woods to a real griller, but I think I get good flavor. What I'm working at now is smoking. That is a challenge..........at least for me. I'll be watching the posts and more'n likely asking questions. Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome; I don't know about the different types of wood so much. I just bought 10 bags of Royal Oak charcoal at Wally World to stock up some. We have lots of wood here around Sedalia, MO. Roads are not as straight as around Ft. Peck or Williston. Here some of us even burn Osage Orange or Hedge (it burns hot?) and lots of oak, and other misc. wood. Just keep up smoking. Semper Fi and welcome.

Hello there, and welcome to the best smokin' site on the net, SMF that is.
 
Anybody ever smoke with Corn Cobs? Dried. Outfits in Vt. sell high priced cobbed smoked bacon and hams.
Check it out in Google. bcs
You must be referring to Harrington's. I love their hams. I want to attempt to do one like theirs one of these days. For those not familiar, they use a maple syrup glaze on it that is like no other ham.
