Beech Wood Substitute

(1/2) > >>

Evelein:
Hello, I'm new to the forum, but have been smoking stuff off and on for a number of years. I have a Bradley smoker.

Does anyone know what would be a good substitute for beech wood, since Bradley doesn't appear to make beech wood pucks? European beech wood is used to smoke Wesphalian ham and I'm trying to make something close to this ham. The recipe appears to be a secret in Germany. I will probably use one of the Bradley brand woods as a substitute. Wikipedia says, when beech wood is used in making barrels, it has a "tone between those of maple and birch". I'm not sure what that means. If nothing else, I'll start with maple or apple.

Hi Evelein;

Welcome to the forum.

I would say maple is a very good choice. Or a combination of maple and pecan - such as for every 2 maple use 1 pecan.

Evelein:
Super, Thank you. I guess I wasn't too far off the mark.

If you really want to use Beach Wood then get your self a pellet smoker attachment, and use this link for the pellets.

Welcome to the forum Evelein. I've been using Alder wood in place of Beech wood from my grandfathers recipes, seems to work well and he used it a lot on meats that he smoked.
