question about smoking meat with oak?
ok i have been on a smoking rampage. i have smoked with hikory and oak. i have done a good job so far. i get hikory from walmart. i got oak from a live oak tree near my house. tomarrow I am smoking chicken and maby pork or beef roast of some sort. so my question is does it matter what speciese of oak I use. i cut down a small oak tree today. it was about 20 feet tall. im not sure what speciese it is so does it matter?
wow you are retarded. i hope you are joking.
wow i think you guys are in the wrong section. i like your humor though. lol

The Art of Barbecuing
The art of barbequing has risen to a different level in recent years with the revived interest in genuine wood fired cooking. Instead of using the traditional briquette or gas fired grill we are finding much more satisfaction cooking over real wood such as alder, oak, mesquite or whatever good cooking hardwood is available where we live. For centuries bread has been baked in wood fired ovens made out of masonry, stone or steel and the secret to thick crunchy crust is held therein. It is a well known fact that wood fired cooking is and always has been the key to many cooking secrets. It is no wonder that every chateau or manor visited in France has a wood fired cooking system. The flavor, the smoke, and the heat is unsurpassed and those of us who love cooking good food continue to search for a way that will take us back to that quality and simplicity.
For years, in the South, a tradition of luscious smoked meats from Texas beef to Carolina’s pork has been a part of Americana. Could there be a way of combining the essence of smoking with qualities that would allow us to cook bread in the same system? It is indeed the wood fired pizza oven. We have the cooking process outdoors on those warm summer evenings and we can enjoy great pizza, the way we like it, with the crust of Spain and flavor that takes us and our guests to an experience of the old country. And when we want to cook our favorite meat we can do it slowly with a thick smoke surrounding it forming itself into a savory offering for our guests as we work our way through a memorable dinner reminiscent of a night on the Loire River in the midst of France.
Outdoor pizza ovens come in several different forms for the serious follower of old world cooking. The traditional Italian wood fired pizza oven is often built into a deck or patio system as a gathering place and conversation piece around which real quality food can be enjoyed in an intimate setting. This system, because of the need for fairly sophisticated masonry work, can be expensive and many times the average food lover cannot afford such a system. The other choice is a steel, free standing wood fired pizza oven like ours which requires no special masonry work or installment and can be used right from the box.
Using old fashioned convection styled heating, one simply builds a fire in the firebox and waits for the oven to heat to temperature. All the controls of a wood stove are provided with the unit to control and encourage the fire so that it lights easily and heats to temperature safely and trouble free. When the oven has reached the correct cooking temperature it can be used to roast meat, bake pizza, bake bread, and anything imaginable. Our outdoor pizza oven has a method to divert the smoke from the flavored wood to the oven to enhance the taste. At times, such as bread baking time, the wood smoke needs to be channeled out the chimney so as not to affect the essence of the creation. Not only does it make real wood cooking available to the average person but it provides a very attractive addition to your deck or patio as you entertain.
Outdoor pizza ovens bring back the enjoyment of the process of cooking with wood. Having your own personal pizza oven outside on a beautiful summer evening, in your own intimate setting, with good friends or family, will make for a memorable experience that you and your guests will long remember.

Looking for a list of woods that are excellent for smoking meats with. Is fig tree wood good?
Fig is not really good they provide a brief burn and not that flavorful to the food as others. Best bet is skip the fig. There’s Hickory, Wild Cherry, and Almond. For make it more flavorful presoak your chips in a 3/4 cup of water for 30 mins to an hour before using them and drain the water and wait 45 mins. before placing them ontop of your coals and lite them up together and enjoy. This will provide a good smoke flavor to your food.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
