Where is a good place to buy wood for smoking meat? (SoCal, LA area)?
I just inherited a smoker, and am eager to try it out. I need a place to buy flavored wood/wood chips in the Los Angeles area. Apple wood, hickory, mesquite, peach, etc...
thanks in advance
Answers:
If you're smoking pork, you want to get fruit wood chips, and beef you use hickory, mesquite, etc. We get ours in Huntington Beach at the Beef Palace (it's a butcher shop) off Springdale and Warner. We also get chips at Anaheim Patio & Fireplace, also in Huntington Beach, at Goldenwest and Warner. Sometimes Home Depot even carries the non-fruit woods.
