I am way behind on pruning the water sprouts on my apple trees. Some of them are 3-4' high. I know I should not be doing this pruning now but I am anyways. Are the sprouts worth saving for duty as apple wood smoke? Gene
It might be worth an experiment. DD gave us some branch prunings from her apple trees but I haven't paid much attention to what DH uses for BBQ smoking since he uses about 6 different types.

Myself, I do not grill out nor BBQ. I thought I'd put a sign out front along the road: Free Apple Wood. I'm sure the very first person who stops by will let me know if the prunings are worth the bother. Hey, live and learn. Gene
That sounds like a good plan if you're not going to use it. Usually, the bark is removed before using it for grill/smoking so the cuttings need to have enough substance.

Sorry to dash your plan. Bark can impart a bitter flavor.
