Anyone ever hear of IPE (pronounced "Epay") wood? It is a hard, dense wood from Brazil (sustainable forests by the way). I had a rear porch floor put on with the stuff (looks amazing) and when they trimmed it off there were a lot of scrap pieces.
Think I could try smoking with this? It is not treated, but I wasn't sure if tropical woods contained any toxins or other odd bits that would ruin a cook. I had not heard of this wood until my contractor recommended it and I saw it installed at his house.
And If I shouldn't use this stuff what about other types of scrap hardwood flooring such as oak?
