Topic: Is willow wood good? . . . .
From: K. Chubey,
Subject: Re: Willow

Smoky,

Some one told me that willow is the best to smoke fish and poultry, can you confirm this for me.

I live in northern Alberta in Canada and I have an abundance of willow on my property.

Thanks,
K. Chubey

Hi K. Chubey,

"Smoking" is such a confusing word. Do you want to smoke something to preserve it or do you want to cook it?

Willow is very good for smoking - as in curing. It makes an excellent charcoal.

Willow is also good for cooking. It doesn't impart very much taste, but that's okay. Great for fish, fowl or flesh.

Please read the "Glossary According to Smoky."

And, have fun,
Smoky
