Is lookin for wood to cook with.
Sorry for such a noob question but I'm at a loss.. Being new, I'm not sure where to get consumables...
I hit up the Walmart and Lowes today looking for different wood chunks for smoke, but I didn't see any. Lowes some chopped wood for a camp fire, but nothing for a smoker... Then I was like, why should I buy wood? There's wood everywhere near my.. Now I have questions.. as someone that knows nothing about smoking, other than what I've seen in Youtube videos and just reading stuff online.
My questions now are can any wood be used other than stuff like Pine.. The stuff that people normally burn in a a fireplace? I know Oak, Hickory, Apple and Pecan seem to be popular, but why not maple, walnut or even from a peach tree?
Can I use green wood? I've got a couple apple and peach trees... heck, even a black walnut tree, in my yard. Can U saw off a thick branch and use it? If I do use it, does it need to be seasoned or can I through a few green chunks on the coals?
Any tips are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
