EBONY....not the ebony!!!!!

I don't get it
Am I missing something
Ye nice wood up in smoke a waste

Well it had proven something that I knew all along.

Wood burns.

Just as sad as when I was in the backblocks of Bangkok in the mid 70's and saw a house being built and they were using teak as nogging.

I've got a couple boxes of exotic off-cuts, never thought of cooking with them though.

No, for both obvious economic but also practical reasons. Ebony smells like dirt when cut so I suspect meat cooked over an ebony wood fire would also taste like dirt. Many of the exotics are allergens too.

Had not thought of that one, but you are probably correct. Also appeared to be a large amount of wood/coals to "simply" cook 3 bits of fish.

Obviously, he has never come across the famous Aussie fish smoker.

Interesting smoker, I'll have to look for one here.

G'day, Rob.

These smokers are brilliant. There are quite a few available, only use some sawdust, a bit of metho, and you are eating in 10 to 15 minutes, no fuss. There are hundreds of UTube videos around and in the quick search I did I came up with this one. There are probably better ones but this will give you the idea.

Regards,
Bob

I was told by an Italian fellow out in faaaaaaaaar SW NSW that saltbush and bluebush are great smoke flavours.
