Did some trimming on my apple and pear trees today keeping the big limbs for smoking next year after drying. Got to thinking, will the bar oil on the chainsaw contaminate the wood for smoking? My first thought is that most of the oil is being pushed out with the chips and its green wood so it shouldn't soak up much if any or does it? Used my chop saw to chunk it so no worry's there. Maybe I'm over thinking it?
