Bourbon Wood
« on: August 14, 2014, 08:51:06 PM »
I would like to ask how many of you use Bourbon Wood? and what type meat would you use it on? It sounds pretty awesome to me but haven't smoked with it...
I have Hickory, Sugar Maple, Cherry, Apple, and Peach and was thinking about adding Bourbon Chunks to my arsenal.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks Guys...

I love oak, and find it great on any beef, and also pork.  You can't taste the bourbon in the final product, but you can sure smell it in the chunks!

Good wood.  It's a little drier than their fruit woods, so foil or ramp-up the temp.  It's a little more prone to combustion if you go full-blast from the start.

Hehe...know what you mean!  It'd be hard to blow one of these suckers up, but they'll sure give you a good smoke belch when the wood catches fire!
