Maple is plentiful up here and so that's my usual smoking wood. I use
apple whenever possible (my mom has an apple tree in her yard and I always
keep the prunings) but I never thought of using grapevine before! Thanks
for the idea.
Another one you can try: My basil plants grow into four-foot shrubs
before they're ready to harvest. I keep the trunks and sticks, dry them
out, and use them to flavor the smoke. A little of this stuff goes a
long way if you want to try it, though, so be careful!
