Identify my wood.

Post by Tyrone1Wils »

Hi all,

Don't know if you will be able to help, but I got given a bunch of wood from someone at work. He doesn't know what type of wood this is. Its a long shot but could you guys have a look at my wood and tell me what it is? And if its good for smoking.

Cheers

Well I cooked with it. Used it for pulled pork. Tasted nice wasn't bitter. Tested like a really mild smoke lighter than cherry. Was good
