I don't have a WSM but I use my Genesis 1000 gas grill to smoke various meats. I could post this in the Gas Grill section, but I figure you guys are the ones to ask about wood for smoking. Buying wood in the bags at the stores is pretty pricey. I like, and have been using Apple wood for my cooks. My parents have a crab apple tree that looks like it is on its way out and I told them that if it winds up needing to be taken out, that I wanted it for wood for smoking.
But, before I do that, I have a couple questions:
1. Is Crab Apple wood as good as regular apple wood?
2. Do I need to strip the bark from the wood before I use it in the grill for smoking?
I am just thinking that a 50 gallon trash bin full of Crab Apple wood chunks would be awful handy and inexpensive for the next several years.
Thoughts???
