I know this sounds very unusual, but I've got two ash tree's I've taken down in the last year due to the lovely emerald ash borer we have here in Meechigan.
I had no plans on using the wood in my smoker but instead was using it in my fire pit and the stuff just smells wonderful.
I know that Ash is somewhat related to oak but lacks the tannins in oak. I was googling around and noticed that oak is a pretty common wood for smoking in europe, but I've never heard of anyone using it out here.
Any reason I shouldn't use the ash in my smoker? Anyone with experience? I've got a lot of it!
