tomorrow i get to deal with the 2'+ diameter cherry tree limb that came down in my back yard on wednesday. there's a thread on LIG about it if anyone is interested. i'm going to borrow the neighbor's chipper/shredder to dispatch the smaller limbs (it'll handle up to 3" in diameter).
one of the things i'd like to be able to do is to get some good smoking wood chips for smoking fish and such. i've asked a couple of friends but we couldn't come up with a consensus on it. do you remove the bark from the wood to make wood chips for smoking or leave it on? also, are there specific parts of the tree that make better smoking chips than others (heartwood or sapwood)?
