pear is excellent for chicken and pork, it's a lot like apple.

Joe, I love your smoker! I'm looking forward to posting pics of my son's project for school. He's turning a donated propane tank into a smoker, the issue now is building a trailer for it also. He's so excited about this project

Years ago we took down an old dead apple tree on our place. if only I'd known......

How about pear trees, anyone know if they're good for smoking? I'm in an area of lots of pear trees.

It's a J&R Oyler. Either 700 or 750. It will easily smoke hundreds of pounds at a time. I think you can get into a brand new one for about $30K.

Yeah Rachel pear would be good....I've even used fall cherry wood. They are a small dark cherry that come late in the fall here. Most fruit trees would work.

That is good to know.... I am so going after all those invasive bradford pear trees on the property for the smoker.....

I think you can use pretty much anything but evergreen trees....I don't think pines and such would work very well.

So does pear wood lend much flavor to the food?

Yes but it's subtle, not a powerful flavor and not sweet like apple.
