I grew up in rain forest Alaska on a very rural homestead which had only wood burning stoves for heat, any wood that was not very well seasoned was typically a very creosote heavy burn. But now I live in the high mountain desert of south central Montana and my smoking wood is very dry. It burned good, nice clean ash, and you can see by the pics of it finished in the smoker it didn?t leave the walls black and sticky. I too was worried though! The little corner I sliced and the pinch of rendered fat tasted marvelous, but still I?m worried until I taste an actual cut. Fingers crossed!
My first cook was a 24lb turkey, I used hickory and about 7oz. and there was literally next to no smoke profile which is why I used so much wood. I did chop it into smaller pieces and monitored for a clean burn so I?ve done what I could!
I?ll check your link, and I?ll be looking for more good words from you, it was nice to get to chat with you!
