Dangerous wood smokes?


Recommended Posts

I've been looking up meat smoking info and they say conifers, with the resins, are dangerous to use to toxic to whatever. Other species of trees too. There's no real connection between sites for safe woods other than the standard ones you can buy at the markets. I'm wondering how many really are dangerous and how many are because someone else said so. Especially with so many people making their own charcoal.

The larger issue is inhalation or ingesting the smoke.

Making charcoal is a process where the smoke is burned off heaving just the carbon of the wood. That charcoal is then burned for heat with a chimney to remove any smoke from the work area of the blacksmith. Remember you can smoke, just do not inhale.
