I've been meaning to try to find out what they do with the peach trees around here when they pull the orchards. I have some almond, haven't tried it yet.

Peach wood smoke sounds interesting. I bet it's expensive. I don't know.
I like Hickory for smoking beef, and apple or cherry or hickory for chicken. I think we like apple or cherry best with chicken. But I've never done any cold smoking, so I'm outta my element. Just trying to sit back and learn from some smart stoners.

They pull fields full of them around here, and stack up the branches and burn them.

Hmm. Maybe it's not good wood to smoke with. I have no idea.

I have heard of people using it, never tried it. The farmers just want their fields emptied to plant new trees.

I was like 5 or 6 when my dad got it. I still remember most positions. I don't know why the had to change the name.
Oh nevermind I figured it out.
Anyways I was wrong. It was called Pig Mania. Pig Out just meant your turn was done basically, but we said that a lot.
I think people had a problem with the Piggy Back position, lol.
"Since this is an unnatural position for pigs, player forfeits game."
You can see it on the second pic of this guys auction for the one I played. The new Pass the Pigs doesn't include that position, lol.

So my usual place said they only have it already smoked.....guess the new owners that weren't going to change anything did. Oh well it's still a good place.
But searching for full slabs lead me to this other place.......and they have anything that you can imagine........from real honey to guns and whiskey.....to any kind of meat fresh or smoked. It's a real general store. Only thing is you gotta order a week ahead of time but that's fine with me. I can't wait to see this place

Almond is ok for red meat but it does have an off taste and smell to get used to. It ruins fish IMO. Almond orchards were big in Paso Robles 50 yrs ago and for awhile they almost were giving that wood away as the industry moved away and the land was cleared for vineyards
edit: Grape is pretty good for both meats and fish, but it's rare to find big chunks that burn long

Good firewood though, burns hot.

Yep, great in a fireplace.
I'm smoking my bacon today. I like cold smoking my bacon (also some smoked salmon), so this time of year is perfect for it because the smoke temperature can easily be kept under 3 degrees celsius.
The little AMNPS puts out enough smoke for even this old non working Bradley piece of crap:

Nice! I was thinking about this thread yesterday. I did a pork loin and some poppers the other day.
12 hours, then I equalize the smoke by wrapping it back up in the coldest section of the fridge. Then I dry it out if needed a few days later, and partially frozen for easy slicing in the ChefsChoice.

Cool. I got this.....and my pork belly connection. I have some ideas for running it cold.
