Good grief Charlie Brown!

I bought Wood from Paul Goulden and he marked mine up too what a star!!!!! If you don't know you woods its essential IMHO

So did you get round to using the silver birch? Worth using? I Come across some n trying to decide wether to get the chain saw on it for the fire next winter or hand saw n hatchet.

I used Silver Birch (from Smokewood Shack) on a rotisserie chicken and baked some potatoes under the chook at the same time and they all tasted really good. Nice light (as opposed to 'heavy' like oak or hickory) smoke with a touch of sweetness to it, the spuds were especially superb!.

Thanks for that, I reckon I'll be givin it a run out soon!

I have used it and its ok, it gives off a lot of heat and burnt quicker than oak i found.

I guess it depends on your supply of wood, but its not to be sniffed at.
