I`ve built a BBQ/wood burner in my garden, what is the best wood to burn with the least amount of smoke?
Question:i use coals on the BBQ, but later on as the night closes in & the temprature drops i light the fire, i used normal timber last time but there was alot of smoke..is there some kind of wood i can buy or collect which lets off less smoke.
Answers:
Birch? It heats up a lot but you'll always deal with the smoke... So take advantage of it for flavoring and use hickory!
try old tyres and damp leaves, particularly good if neighbours have just hung out washing
The best wood is...bone dry wood, (seasoned if small logs/branches) seriously, simple as that. Moisture = smoke
