Sassafrass
« on: June 15, 2017, 04:55:37 AM »
Have a neighbor that gave me some sassafrass chunks. Anyone ever used sassafrass as a smoke wood??? 

I wonder what protien would work for this?

Any insight from the group?

Lets just say I have acquired a few Kettles.  Big and small.   Vintage and New...  Some say I have a problem.  I find the Kettle, buy the Kettle, USE the Kettle...No problem...

I don't know about smoking but I have made handles from it and it smells unbelievable when you cut it.  It's got a great smell to it.....

Multiple kettles and WSM's. I am not a collector, just a gatherer... and a sick bastard.

It has a high oil content and burns well.  Roots were used for tea/ medicinal value and at one time it was traded at a higher value than gold....

Never cooked with it though.
