Best Place to Buy Smoke Wood?

[Guest]

I am just getting started BBQing and wondering what the best place to buy smoke wood. I know that Home Depot has mesquite and hickory but what about other woods? Is online the best way to go?

I guess it depends on where you live. I have had luck looking on those home heating shops for Alder, and Apple,and I have a friend in the wine business where I get oak wine barrel wood. I get my hickory at walmart

If you have any local fruit orchards, that would be my first go to. Contact them, most of them will give it to you free of charge!

I've had good luck with the local Barbecues Galore shop. They're at bbqgalore.com. Good selection of chunks and chips, the former in 15-20lb bags; also small logs for chimineas. I usually go for apple or the nut woods.

They have excellent quality and are reasonably priced. If you call them they also have many types that are not on their web site.

I have two Apple trees that supply me with my smoke wood
Just keep enough cut and dried in the rotation and I am good to go.

Just ran out and lunch and got some applewood. Found a great BBQ supply store. Here is there website for anyone in the area:

definitely check out orchards. I was lucky enough tonight to go to one where they cut down several trees. They had brush piles of apple would they were going to burn. Friend and I went in with a chain saw and cutters and ended up with two pickup trucks full for free.

If you have to buy online, this is my favorite place. Smokinlicious is also very good.
