  • I think, no wait. I KNOW I scored big on this one...

    Coming back for the Wisconsin area today, I decided to stop off at a local apple farm to check on some cider. Got to talking with the owner and asked him if he had any apple wood trimmings. Sure he said. How much I asked.

    5 bucks, all I can take away, and it's quite a bunch. Now here's the bonus.
    After some more talkin about BBQ, not only does it include the Apple wood, BUT, all the plum and pear I can take.

    Said he has a bunch that needs to be trimmed up this Spring as well. So being the nice guy I am, I offered to do the trimming for him in exchange for the wood. Deal he said.

    Sometimes all ya gotta do is ask.....

          That's great! I get mine from a local orchard. He gives me all the apple I want, and I give him a chicken or pulled pork smoked with it. Pretty good deal too.

                That's awesome. The stupid thing is, he probably has to pay to have it hauled away or pay for a burning permit to dispose of it. Win-win for ya both.

                Now just don't butcher his trees and you're golden. hehe.

                  All ya gotta do is ask...that's an awesome score. If I was banished to an isolated spot and could only take one wood to smoke with, it would be apple.

                    I know how to prune the Apple trees we have here on the farm. His Apple trees are trimmed/shaped to give him maximum fruit so if he DOES have me trim them, I'm sure I'll have to learn to do it the way HE wants me to lol. Mine I trim for fruit but also appearance. He's got allot of older trees that he totally removed from the orchard that are just piled up out back waiting to be disposed of. Those are the ones I'm mainly interested in. Took them out last year. If I would have gotten over there last week, I could have had most of it cut up, but I didn't ask him about it till yesterday. A day AFTER the snow fell so no access till Spring
