Title: How to process an apple limb
Post by: BullArcher on May 03, 2016, 09:33:35 AM

A friend gave me a nice sized limb off his apple tree. About 2" in diameter at the thickest point. Need some suggestions on getting it ready for the smoker. I am thinking I will strip off the bark and slice into 1" thick discs on the band saw. Does that sound about right?

I use my table saw and cut disks of varying thickness from 3/8" - 1".  I also capture all my sawdust under the saw and use for cold smokes.  Personally, I don't worry about the thin bark on apple or cherry limbs.
