Plum wood????

Former Member

I went to the apple orchard to get a batch of apple wood for my 08. It was just cut and still very green. I will have to chop it up and let it dry out before using. I asked if he had anything drier (had a loin to smoke now). He offered me some Plum wood. I took it and smiled like I thought it was great

. I didn't want to turn him down becuase he hooked me up with a 40# bag of apple wood for $5. He has peach wood too.

Anyway, Can plum wood be used in the Shack??? Or do I need to throw it on the next bonfire???

A quick answer is yes,and fruitwoods are pretty mild.

I doubt, that in the eating,you willbe able to tell any of them apart.

That much apple will probably go bad on you,before you can use that much,if you cook everyday.

Here is a guide that might help some,in the future.

I don't know if this will help you dry your apple wood, but.........yesterday I cut some rounds off a wild cherry, then broke them into pieces. I had the bright idea of putting the chunks into the gas oven in the kitchen. I placed them on foil and turned the control on low yesterday. Today after about 20 hours dried cherry wood ready to go!

I reckon it didn't smoke up the house ?

I just lay small limbs like prunings and such up on top of the shed and they get pretty dry in a year. I then cut into smaller chunks, split some.

Na Purebread, no smoke. I'd guess the temperature was around 150 degrees. I sure saved a lot of drying time and is the reason I passed the suggestion on. I graduated high school in Melbourne, AR.

Wasn't april fools yesterday?

And in a post about plum, you're asking about pecan in an FE.

Just start a new thread.

Oh, and no, the FE requires pellets. The fire pot isn't big enough to add anything else to.
