Fig wood
So I’m smoking my bacon and decide to try the fig branch’s I cut down last fall. Boy the smoke is so different. Even more than 40’ can you get this spicy like smell. I hope the flavor matches the scent.

Re: Fig wood
Does it have a white center or a red center?

Re: Fig wood

Re: Fig wood
As Mom used to say (because she was a classy lady who didn’t curse):
“I DONT GIVE A FIG!!!”
LOL, always wanted an excuse to use that phrase and it works in this situation; just never had the right opportunity. Too wordy an exclamation when you bash yer thumb with the ball peen hammer and go hopping around the shop cursing the directive to install a cotter pin instead of a clevis pin; too subtle when narrowly cut off in traffic by some brain surgeon in a Porsche - doesn’t really fit to the then-appropriate one-finger salute, and certainly not the two-fisted, dual one finger salute with the alternate underhanded Bronx sound-off and rock-and-fire action; and above all, never used at a wedding where you were invited by your former girlfriend (the bride). These situations call for MUCH more serious exclamations. Take the immediate prior situation as an example. The “Fig Phrase(c)” is a low key, joking dissmive, best used when the host of your dinner party asks if you want another serving of zucchini, the land walking sea sponge.....
I’ve used a hard cured sage, and the various fruit woods (peach was really nice) but older growth splits for the fruit woods not limbs, think I’d wanna go older growth splits for a fig.
Speaking of, I don’t think Bois D’Arc

Lol, my background is engineering and we would quite often be working alongside carpenters. Every now and then you would hear a builder hit his finger with the hammer, and yell out, my friend used to say to the guy, wrong nail? Lol.

Re: Fig wood

Re: Fig wood
I too read about fruit woods and had to prune mine to I used it. Actually the smoke of the smoke was so different. It was a light flavor on it for sure. Best part my wife actually ate the bacon for the first time.
