Title: Using fig tree wood
Post by: Smokey Chucks on April 02, 2015, 03:48:12 PM

I have 3" rounds cut an 1" thick from a fig tree I pruned.  Any experience using it in a smoker?

Interesting first question, Smokey!  I've never used fig, but have read it is alright to use (properly cured, of course), and imparts a very mild smoke flavor.  Probably best on poultry, or whatever you want a very mild smoke flavor on.
