Smokin' - thanks for the wood list link you sent the guy in Venezuela in the open forum.
Now some Smokette-specific questions:
How small a piece of wood can you start with? For example, lilac and grapevine sound pretty tasty, but around here would come in at most 2" diameter - and probably more like 1". In a Smokette, a couple-foot-long piece of such would smoke a lot of food. Would this work OK after seasoning the wood for a month or two? Should it be peeled?
If this would work, how about using 1" or 2" diameter prunings of other woods? That way one could try a variety without having to buy (or chop down) a lot, just by offering to clean up neighbors' trees a bit. Or would such growth be too low in density to actually char to smoke?
Along with all that, has anybody tried grape, lilac, birch, gum, beech, etc? How about even stranger like rose of Sharon, redbud, or honeysuckle?
