BIO apparently doesn't know. He dropped about a thousand country boy notches for even suggesting someone would use treated lumber to BBQ... treated lumber is below using quick start charcoal briquettes. Hell, I'm even getting a chemical smoke headache thinking about it. Seriously, wth?

I'm pretty sure bio was referring to unseasoned wood, high in moisture content, not lumber that's treated with copper or arsenic to stop wood destroying organisms. Firewood that's unseasoned can result in higher levels of creosote formation relative to seasoned or dry wood.

I didn't read anything about treated wood in his posts.

Green wood does cause more creosote formation, that's all he said. Creosote is a carcinogen.

Smoked food does indeed have some carcinogenic activity.

Well, I'm not BBQin' in my fireplace... so who cares.


Maybe I'm missing something here. Did TuT invent some new type of non-carcinogenic smoke? is your smoke better than mine? fill me in.

Liam, next time you come down to ATL we are going to have to go to Fox Bros. They kick Fat Matt's ass.


Beaufart is a yankee. s*** what is the world coming to? Damn Yankees trying to tell everyone how they are supposed to do everything.


If you guys have a cook off I would love to be on the judging panel.

lol.. I've lived in the south longer than you have been alive... and I'm not telling anyone how to do anything, just posting the way I do it.


apparently highly processed recycled pellets from an fashionable store are better than wood.... who knew.

Lighten up Ashley, just bustin your balls.

What the fxxx are you talking about? I am old school lump charcoal kind of guy.

 

[Cube Dweller]

anyone tried plum tree wood? I've got some wood set aside from a tree I cut down. It's hard, wondering if I should save it for bbq.

lol - carpetbagger.

Maybe you should try to cook things using seasoned wood. If you think what you do now is good, it can only make it better...

apparently you do

settle down Francis.

It's a judgement call. The science is very clear that smoked food has a high level of carcinogens. After careful reveiw of all the info I decided that I'll take my chances.

Now you're just making s*** up.

I would for sure. As a rule any fruit or nut tree makes good BBQ wood.

I don't think there is a prohibition for pit fruit (laetrile) but I'll look it up real quick...

EDIT: a quick web review showed multiple favorable anecdotes for plum, peach, apricot, and cherry wood. I've used cherry myself. If I could I would use cherry and apple exclusively.

lol... I give up on this thread/subject.

ribs.... they have about as much meat on them as chickens feet.

 

[agomez]

lol....so if you need wood up north you just pull a few treated laths from the neighbors wood fence to do your Bbq'ing?
