Has anyone tried DIY/homemade smoking chips/chunks for use in the barbecue?
I’ve been using shop bought stuff the last few years, like oak, cherry, and apple.
Now I’m going to try making my own. I pollarded an oak tree in my back garden earlier this year so will use some of the branches for the bbq. My local park has a few cherry trees so I might grab a branch or two there.
As honey Maggie season has started I’m saving the skin and stone for the bbq too. I know they use mango wood in the US for smoking so I’ll give the skin/stone a go with chicken some day.
Any tips or other suggestions?
