I have used iron ark and have had good results with my brisket an other good wood to use in my smoker for brisket is Australian river red gum works very well . I’ve had very good results.
I feel lucky, I have a Big Hickory tree in my back yard, & I save the limbs for cooking over an open fire, as I have a pellet smoker, & no off set smoker like you mate.
Hi I was just wondering if you've run into any issues with your offset smoker. I think I'm getting too much air through the ashbox and maybe the fire door. I feel im going through too much fuel. I have the same smoker as you. Cheers m8
I open my as box out a little to let a little more air through. I started to use some heat beads as well now for a little stability. On my bigger offset that I built the firebox takes logs so it is a cleaner and more even burn than on a little offet like ours where you might put a maximum 5cm split piece of timber into which won't burn long enough or really produce the coals you need without getting to hot for low and slow.
I heard it is a good smoking wood. I have not tried it bit I would be interested in burning it as logs in my offset. I believe the most common use is in bullet smokers running a chunk over heat beads.

For NQ, thoughts on avocado wood?
