Smoke wood... There are lots to chose from and guidelines to be found on most BBQ enthusiast sites. I just got these bags of Hickory and Mesquite from my local Weber store and haven't even opened them. I'm saving it for my next BBQ party! They don't come cheap (SEK 109/bag, or about USD 15), but what can you do when those trees don't grow anywhere near here? :) |

This is apple wood from my grand dad's apple tree. I tried them in my second and third smoke. The third was the best since I only used one log and I removed the bark from it. The meat was excellent! |

2004-05-20: I just got back from a one week holiday in Crete, Greece (I live in Sweden) with my 14 month-old and my fiancée. Boy, was it lovely to do a change of environment! It actually snowed at home the day before our departure and we had lovely weather in Crete, except for some cleansing rain that freshened the air. We rented and drove a small Citroen C3 around the island and my mind was totally in vacation mode, until the last day when the wheels began to move again... I realised that I was on an island with millions of olive trees, and they consist of olive tree wood, and peculiar woods are what make my meat taste so good in the WSM... I took a walk that combined getting my son to sleep in his stroller with finding a few twigs of olive tree wood, and when I was about to give up, I found a decent log on the road side! The x-ray operator at the airport actually scanned my luggage twice, with a confused look on his face, before he let me pass to the check-in. This is a picture of a bunch of olive trees. |

This is a pile of olive tree wood. Not where I got my olive wood log, mind you! |

This is my log, prior to getting it into my luggage. |
