Crab Apple wood...

[Brian K]

Anyone ever heard or used this for smoking? I have a tree in my back yard I want to get rid of.

Thanks,

Brian

There's only one way to find out...lol

Yeah, let me know if you try it. I have an unending supply of crab apple wood.

From what I've seen (or smelled), all fruit woods are about the same for smoking. I'd gladly use it!

I suspect that crab apple is just fine for smoking with. However, I've never tried it or talked with anyone that had, at least not that I can remember.

it's a fruit wood.

I did a quick Google search and the most common response was:

"Crabapple is a good flavored wood very similar to apple but with its own unique fruity flavor."

So I say give it a try. I would just add a couple small chunks the first couple of time and mix it with something else. Let us know how it turns out.

Brian,

I've got a flowering crab in my front yard that I've used dead limbs from for smoking and it is very good. Similar to apple. The tree is starting to die and I will miss seeing those beautiful blooms in the Spring but it'll make lots of smoke wood.
