  • Raspberry Vines?

    I know folks use grape vines for smoke but have any of you used raspberry vines? They've taken over a corner of my yard and the wife says they have to go. So, if they're good for smoke I'll cut 'em up into sticks with loppers and save them versus sending them to the landfill. If they're good for smoke, what kind of flavor do they add?

      I found this little snippet on a website offering various farm grown goods. "RASPBERRY WOOD: Chipped raspberry canes, mild, sweet smoke"

          Careful with the thorns. They are loaded with thorns but the larger woody pieces are not so bad. I used to have some growing out back & used it for smoking some chicken & fish. Nice flavor.

              I had an Old English Sheepdog that would stick his head into the vines and pick the berries off with his front teeth...I had so much fun watching him avoid the thorns that I let him harvest all he wanted
