We live in the part of California being over taken by Western Juniper. Can western juniper be used in a smoker and if so, what flavor smoke would it produce? Thanks!

I use a few juniper berries when smoking a Black-Forest-style bacon; this is to substitute for the spruce that is commonly used in the wood blends over there when smoking cured pork.
It's kind of like using Brylcreem - just a little dab'll do ya ~ you don't need more than a dozen juniper berries in a loaded AMNPS, and 8 to 10 would probably be better.
Juniper wood? Nope....Last edited by TasunkaWitko; 05-06-2015, 02:51 PM.Fundamentals matter.
