hmmm, there are orchards out the back of the Sunny Coast, I too want to know more about this
Pinching apples are for kids, stealing full branches is where it's at h34r: hahaha, nah just kidding, I'll go and ask like any normal person would. Chuck a couple of the finest bottles in the esky and offer as a trade :beer:

I smoked with some plum wood for the first time the night before last. Have previously smoked with hickory or cherry... the plum was much... frutier.

The old man has a couple of plum and apple trees that are in need of a good prune. If I was to get hold of some branches what thickness should they be and do they need to be dried for a while before use? Haven't got a smoker atm but wouldn't mind one down the track.

I cut down 2 apple trees as it's too warm here and the parrots eat them all anyway. I've kept pretty well all of them, the little branches are good for quick smoking sausages and the like and the bigger stuff can get chopped into chunks for longer smoking. Allow around 6-12 months for the timber to dry well.Thinking of doing a leg of ham for xmas smoked with some apple chunks.

Some fig branches wot fell off a tree at work...

I'll split them length ways and dry them out for a while. Just the job for smoked pig, I reckon.

Interesting that the thread says: "Spent grain and hops from brewing is good on red meats and Pork".

Never thought of that. Must give it a try.

Just recently they cut a few Pecan trees down at the local Primary School......

I was pissed that I missed out on getting some of the wood.

Hey guys,
Since I have a go at everything else smoking was the next thing to try. I've built a smoker using untreated timber and am using a dual hot plate 2400w. I'm using a Rex pid to try and control the temps but I seem to get about 5c fluctuation. Is this OK for smoking. I bypassed the thermostat as I could only get to 60c. Now I can get over 100c easily. The probe is mounted Centre rear. What I wanted to know is how do the shop bought ones work for temp control. Should I upgrade to an auberins or sestos. Will they control better or shouls i build a voltage reg thing that can control the elements via a dial.
cheers for any help
