Hi all, has anyone ever used silver birch to smoke with? I read somewhere that you can use it?
Thanks.

Mixed reviews but by all accounts the Scandinavian's use it for smoking their fish and it has a subtle maple flavour but some have said its bitter and gives off plumes of white bad smoke. However me things these chaps have not debarked and seasoned as its the bark on Birch that causes the problem when burning. However Turan Turan of the Coldsmoking.co.uk firm has it on his list but.............. hot or cold smoking is there a difference??????
