General85 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Hi All, I'm from the West Midlands and just bought my first smoker (Landmann Kentucky) . Found some fantastic information on here and tons of videos on YouTube! There is some information I'm a tad confused on...I know I need to use kiln dried logs but does this need to be the flavoured wood i.e. pecan, ash etc? Are these in addition to flavoured wood chips?

Icefever Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Hi General, as for the wood just stick with some hardwood to start off with, get a good fire going then you can add whatever chips you want. Don't worry too much about it, there's a site about what wood gives off what flavour if I can find it I'll post it. Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General85 Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 Thanks. I believe certain woods will give you a bad taste though? I.e. birch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
